Question

I have the following query:

$sql="UPDATE streams SET name='$name', limit='$limit', desc='$desc' WHERE id='$id'";

when I run this I get the following 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 ‘limit=’15’, desc=’dsfds’ WHERE id=’14” at line 1

where am I going wrong? I have been trying different options but I am not really getting anywhere.

Answer 1

i think you have to escape your limit (and desc) column, its a reserved keyword

$sql="UPDATE streams SET `name`='$name', `limit`='$limit', `desc`='$desc' WHERE `id`='$id'";
