Question

I cant really figure out whats wrong with this. I used to write the exact same thing and got it working.

$check = mysql_query("SELECT encrypt FROM database WHERE word='$word'") or die(mysql_error());

Error returned is : 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 ‘database WHERE word=’asdaasdasdd” at line 1

Answer 1

DATABASE is a mysql reserved word, eclose it with backticks “

$check = mysql_query("SELECT encrypt FROM `database` WHERE word='$word'")
                     or die(mysql_error());
