Creating a table in a database with phpMyAdmin

This video assumes you’ve already logged in to phpMyAdmin.

Now let’s learn how to create a table within a database.

First, select the database in which you want to create a table.

Enter a name for the table.

Enter the number of fields this table is to have, then click **Go**.

Next, enter the details for each field including a name and field type.

Let’s make this first field the Primary Key, and we’ll click here to make it Auto\_Increment.

The remaining fields will be **character** fields. Be sure the length is set long enough to accomodate the field values.

When finished, click **Save**.

That’s it! Our new table has been created within our database.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to create database tables with phpMyAdmin.
