Question

i have the following code:

<!--ajouter une carte     -->
<?php
if($_POST["submit_dd"]){

    mysql_query("INSERT INTO data SET desc='".$_POST["carte_nom"]."' ") or die(mysql_error());



 }
?>

<b>Ajouter une carte:</b><br>
<form method="post">
<table>
<tr><td>nom</td><td><textarea name="carte_nom"/></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" name="submit_dd" value="Ajouter"/></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

i get an error from this very simple query:

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 'desc='dsfgsdfds'' at line 1

the database is very simple: id(primary, auto increment), desc(text)

Answer 1

I might be wrong, but you are probably getting an error because desc is a sql keyword. try wrapping it in back ticks `desc`
