Question

I have a mysql query as follows :

$sql = "
        INSERT INTO
            tbl_stopage
        SET
            bus_id = '$bid',
            stopage_name = '$info[stopage_name]',
            fare = '$info[fare]',
            from = 'Ghy'
    ";

But when I tried to execute the above query , it shows the following error :

DB 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 'from = 'Ghy'' at line 7
INSERT INTO tbl_stopage SET bus_id = '1', stopage_name = 'Dergaon', fare = '123', from = 'Ghy'

Answer 1

in SQL FROM is a reserved word try using from with the proper mySQL escape characters which I believe is `.

In addition, are all the “numeric” values actualy numbers in the database? if so you don’t need the tics (‘) around them.

Overall if its not too late you may avoid future headaces simply by altering the table not to use keywords such as FROM, SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY etc.
