The following query will not execute
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM order WHERE orderID = 102;");
It produces the following error message:
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 ‘order WHERE orderID = 102’ at line 2
How can I write SQL that will successfully query this table?
Order is a reserved word. Don’t use reserved words as table or field names; or wrap it in the escape characters such as ` for mysql. Personally I just avoid using them as they generally cause more headache than they are worth in the long run.
