Help With Creating Data Table

I am using this code below to create a table in database

<?php
	$id=$_POST['id'];
	$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
//Create Table For Catagory
mysql_select_db("test",$con);
$sql = "CREATE TABLE $id 
(
FirstName varchar(15),
LastName varchar(15),
Age int
)";

// Execute query
mysql_query($sql,$con);   

?>

Code (markup):

It is not working as I used a variable as table name.How can I use a variable as table name when creating new table?

 

It should work perfectly fine using $id. Change
mysql_query($sql,$con);
to
$result = mysql_query($sql);

If it still doesn't work, add in:
echo $sql;
and paste the resulting query here.

 

Thanks for ur reply.But it's not working,The resulting query is

CREATE TABLE details { FirstName varchar(15), LastName varchar(15), Age int }

Code (markup):

 

Quoting the query always works. Get rid of the brackets and use parenthesis.

NO: {
YES: (

 

It's working.Thank for your help.Reputation added.
