I’ve encountered an error when uploading an application from my local machine to a development server. I’m attempting to insert a record into a table which works locally (WAMP, PHP 5.4.3, MySQL 5.5.24) but it fails on the development server (IIS, PHP 5.3.2, MySQL 5.0.88).

My query is:

$SQL="INSERT INTO log(`dev_id`,`website_id`,`time_entered`,`location`,`page`,`reason`,`backup_file`,`status`) VALUES('".$DevID."','".$WebsiteID."','".time()."','".$Location."','".$Page."','".$Reason."','".$BackupFile."','".$Status."')";

As you can see I’ve backticked the fields, because I thought it was that. I also quoted everything because I thought the unquoted numbers were causing the issue. I have also turned this into a prepared statement and have gotten the same error which is:

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 'log(`dev_id`,`website_id`,`time_entered`,`location`,`page`,`reason`,`backup_file' at line 1

I’ve looked all around for a solution and it seems that error 1064 is a tricky one. I’m assuming it has to do with the massive difference in software versions.

    Table names that are reserved keywords need to be escaped, too.

    INSERT INTO `log` (...)

    What you’ve done there is akin to making a call to the LOG function.
