Question

I’m gettng a weird error from PDO and it doesn’t make sense. I am trying the following code but even if I change the code I get the exact same error that doesn’t reflect any of the changes.

    $stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT database, gpsthr from ccprefs where fleetnumber=?");
    $stmt->bindValue(1, (int) $smpfleet, PDO::PARAM_INT);
    $stmt->execute();

Here’s the error message:

“SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 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 ‘ gpsthr from ccprefs where fleetnumber= ?’ at line 1”

If I change the code to this I still get the same error.

    $stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT database, gpsthr from ccprefs where fleetnumber= :fleet");
    $stmt->bindValue(':fleet', (int) $smpfleet, PDO::PARAM_INT);
    $stmt->execute();

DATABASE is a reserved keyword and as such you have to quote it.
