Question

here is the error

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘order ASC LIMIT 100’ at line 1.

here is the query passed to PDO for a prepared execute

SELECT * FROM web_menu_items WHERE menuId = ? ORDER BY order ASC LIMIT 100

here are the variables passed to the prepared execute

array(0 => "1")

here is the table structure

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `web_menu_items` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `menuId` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `order` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `requiredAccess` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `hideIfNotAccess` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `label` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
  `link` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
  `tagId` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `menuId` (`menuId`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ;

what am I not seeing here? why is this a syntax error?

Answer 1

order is a reserved word in mySQL.

Put backticks around it:

ORDER BY `order` ASC LIMIT 100

or consider renaming the field.
