PHP Basic Function Help

[Inuyasha1782]

Okay, I'm still in the process of learning the basics of PHP. Currently I am interacting with MySql to 'spice' up my site.

At the moment, I am trying to create a function for simplifying the creation of tables via a function.

This would require the table name and it's values. The problem is the values can be 2 or 10, and are usually not the same. So my idea was to handle this with an array, but I need to know a few things first:

-Can you use an array as a paramter for a function
-How do you use that array as a paramter
-How do you get the upper bound of an array

If anyone could help explain the above it would be nice

<?php
include 'config.php';   //Sets up the database information
include 'connect.php'; //Connects the the database

function create_table($tablename, $values){
$query = 'CREATE TABLE $tablename, $values';
$result = mysql_query($query);
}

include 'close.php'; //Closes the connection
?>

Note: My idea was to create the values string by creating a loop that ran through all the values of the array and added them to another string like ", $Value1, $Value2" etc.
