Question

Hi there here is my SQL insert statement:

$customeraddress_query = "INSERT INTO  `customer_address` 
    (
    `apt_num`,
    `street1`,
    `street2`
    'city',
    'state',
    'date_stamp'
    )
    VALUES 
    (
    '$aptNum',
    '$street1',
    '$street2',
    '$city',
    '$state',
     now()
    )";

This is giving me the following error:

INSERT INTO `customer_address` ( `apt_num`, `street1`, `street2` 'city', 'state', 'date_stamp' ) VALUES ( '57', 'Col Street', 'x', 'v', 'x', now() )

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 ”city’, ‘state’, ‘date_stamp’ ) VALUES ‘ at line 6

I’m new to SQL and I was wondering if someone could help me with this. I suspect it’s something to do with the right use of quotes.

But I cant seem to get these right.

You are missing a comma(,) after the street2 and city.

Try this:

INSERT INTO `customer_address` ( `apt_num`, `street1`, `street2`, `city`, `state`, `date_stamp` ) VALUES ( '57', 'Col Street', '', 'Waterloo', '', now() )
