Question

this is the php code:

$stringquery = "INSERT INTO sikurim(name, title, desc, category, subcategory)

 VALUES ('$contact', '$heading','$comments', '$catF', '$catS' ) ";

mysql_query($stringquery) or die(mysql_error());

And i get the 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 ‘desc, category, subcategory) VALUES (‘jhjh’, ‘ fffff’,’fffff’,
‘2’, ‘4’ )’ at line 1

I can’t find what’s wrong with the code, can someone help?

Answer 1

DESC is reserved MySQL keyword. You need to enclose it in backquotes:

$stringquery = "INSERT INTO sikurim(name, title, `desc`, category, subcategory) VALUES ('$contact', '$heading','$comments', '$catF', '$catS' )";
