syntax error foreign keys - php

Question

I'm new to php/sql and i'm getting a syntax error on the line with the foreign key.
Syntax error or access violation: 1064
$createQuery ="CREATE TABLE AthleteTable
(
athleteID INT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
lastName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
firstName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
gender CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
image VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
eventID INT(6) NOT NULL,
medal VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT foreign FOREIGN KEY (eventID) REFERENCES eventsTable(eventID),
PRIMARY KEY(athleteID)
)";
If any one knows what is wrong would appreciate some help.

new error:
inserting data AthleteTable failed SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity
constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign
key constraint fails (powlz1_in612.AthleteTable, CONSTRAINT
AthleteTable_ibfk_1 FOREIGN KEY (eventID) REFERENCES eventsTable
(eventID))
here is where I make the tables:
$createQuery ="CREATE TABLE eventsTable
(
eventID INT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
sport VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
event VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (eventID)
)";
$pdo->exec($createQuery);
$createQuery ="CREATE TABLE AthleteTable
(
athleteID INT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
firstName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
lastName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
gender VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
image VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
eventID INT(20) NOT NULL,
medal VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT SportEvents FOREIGN KEY (`eventID`) REFERENCES eventsTable(`eventID`),
PRIMARY KEY(`athleteID`)
)";
$pdo->exec($createQuery);
after looking at others questions it all seems to be a missing field, but both tables include an eventID so I don't get why it is failing?

Answer 1

$createQuery ="CREATE TABLE AthleteTable
(
athleteID INT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
lastName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
firstName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
gender CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
image VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
eventID INT(6) NOT NULL,
medal VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT FOREIGN KEY (eventID) REFERENCES eventsTable(eventID),
PRIMARY KEY(athleteID)
)";
You had the word FOREIGN twice. That solved your 1064.
Read comments below about your 1452 error that would follow due to setup issues on your referenced table.
