Moditying tables

Hello Reader.

I am fairly new to MySql. I have 2 questions I could use some answers for.

The first is, Why is it that when I DROP a table, then try to use PHP to make another with the same name, it makes the exact same table.

The reason I ask is because I don't know how to add fields to a table once it's made, so I droped it, and made it again with the new fields. I used PHP to do this. The information however is the same. The new fields aren't added, and the old fields are still there.

I can't figure that out.

My next question is: How do I modify a table once I created it?

I tryed using the INSERT INTO statement but that didn't work.

Any assistance is much apprecitated.

r/s
newbie
