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 'show' at line 2 –

$sQuery = "
    SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS year, nameShow 
    FROM   `show`

    Section 9.3 of MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual says back ticks (`) or double quotes (“), however, I’d go with Fahim Parkar’s comment above and just rename the table.

    Also worth noting, you must use ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode if using double quotes per Section 9.2:

    If the ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode is enabled, it is also permissible to
    quote identifiers within double quotation marks
