#2 Stats vs restrictive hosting

[Matt]

I found a conflict between how this software works
regarding statistics and my host (godaddy.com). The
stats reference in right-column.inc.php, and
pool-stats.inc.php seek to create temporary tables,
which my host does not grant permission to do unless I
were to upgrade to the virtual dedicated or dedicated
server... that would be an additional $30 per month!

I found a workaround to resolve the permission issue:
since I cannot create temporary tables, but I can
create tables, I have altered the script to create a
permanent table, then destroy it when done. Here are
the alterations I have made:

//$sql="CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE $tmpTable (p_id int not
null, username VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, score INT NOT
NULL, mts INT NOT NULL, tps INT NOT NULL)";
$sql="CREATE TABLE `$tmpTable` (p_id int not null,
username VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, score INT NOT NULL, mts
INT NOT NULL, tps INT NOT NULL)";

Then after:
$rslt5=mysql_query($sql);
mysql_query("DROP TABLE `$tmpTable`");
