My production server is on GoDaddy. I haven't checked yet, but I doubt
GoDaddy will allow me to go outside of my "Paid" space. I know I cannot
create a table via PHP. I have to use their "manual" interface. Of course, I
can load the table with data using PHP.

If my guess is correct, anybody have any other suggestions?

Thanks..

Bruce
