Let me say that I am rather amazed by the fact that you manage to use

frames would be hard to use with them.

Maybe the mysql command line (if available) would be easier to use.

Good.

What do you mean by "show up"?
Was there a table definition in the file you uploaded?

Don't think this is important.

phpmyadmin has a left pannel where it shows the databases and the tables
and a main pannel where most of the operations are carried out. The
newly created tables should be visible to the left. phpmyadmin als makes
use of Javascript I think. Maybe you need to manually reload the left
hand panel to see the newly created database tables.
