Question

I’m getting this error:

#1064 – 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 ‘VALUES (1039,200,’2′,NULL,NULL,NULL,’cash’,NULL,1)’ at line
1

for this query:

INSERT INTO anu_donations
(projectid,donation_amount,donated_by,donated_by_uid,donation_details,
comments,payment_medium,donor_comments,created_by)

VALUES (1039,100,’1′,NULL,NULL,NULL,’cash’,NULL,1), VALUES
(1039,200,’2′,NULL,NULL,NULL,’cash’,NULL,1);

Answer 1

You only need VALUES once

INSERT INTO anu_donations    
(projectid,donation_amount,donated_by,donated_by_uid,donation_details, 
comments,payment_medium,donor_comments,created_by)

VALUES 
   (1039,100,'1',NULL,NULL,NULL,'cash',NULL,1), 
   (1039,200,'2',NULL,NULL,NULL,'cash',NULL,1);

See INSERT in the MySQL docs:

INSERT statements that use VALUES syntax can insert multiple rows. To do this, include multiple lists of column values, each enclosed within parentheses and separated by commas. Example:

INSERT INTO tbl_name (a,b,c) VALUES(1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9);
