Tables in a messageboard

Ok I was thinking on how to make a messageboard were you can reply to the message. The only way I could think of was to have each thread be a table and inside the table have each row be a post. To do this I would have to make the table have essentially 2 different names. Since you can only have one table with a unique name I want to make it so each table has a unique number but its name is not unique, once I do this which i dont even know is possible what would be the way to retrieve the number in mysql_query. To retrieve the table name when theres only one unique one u just do $row["Tables_in_database"] so how would you do it when having 2 names and what would be the seperate thing to do for each name.. If this whole thing is not possible at all can someone explain to me how u would go about creating a messageboard where you can reply to the posts.
