I have a bunch of php files corresponding to an application I am writing, using MySQL for my database structure. I know this questions has been asked before but I've been through most of the posts about it and can't find something that will help...
In my PHP file I have a SQL query
$group_sql = "INSERT INTO group (name, description, ownerEmail) VALUES ('$groupName', '$descrip', '$owner')";
that corresponds to a group table with three attributes: name, description, and owner email. $groupName, $descrip, $owner are three variables I have defined. I'm getting this syntax error when I try to run the query:
Error: INSERT INTO group(name, description, ownerEmail) VALUES(hi, hi, test#example.com)
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 'group(name, description, ownerEmail) VALUES(hi, hi, test#example.com)' at line 1
Can someone please help me see what I'm doing wrong?
GROUP is a MySQL reserved keyword. If you name a table that, then you must wrap it in ticks:
$group_sql = "INSERT INTO `group` (name, description, ownerEmail)
VALUES ('$groupName', '$descrip', '$owner')";
Notice where SQL starts with the error and points to it?
>for the right syntax to use near 'group
> ^
This applies to both tables and columns.

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 'group, name, domain, status) VALUES ('19', 'Minecraft', 'Bukkit', 'Bukkit Basic'' at line 1
mysql_query("INSERT INTO products (id, server, group, name, domain, status)
VALUES ('".$productid."', '".$productserver."', '".$productgroup."',
'".$productname."', '".$productdomain."', '".$productstatus."')")
OR die(mysql_error());
I have rewritten the code 5 times.
group is a reserved word in MySQL. You have to escape it with backticks:
INSERT INTO products (id, server, `group`, name, domain, status) VALUES ...
use backticks (`) around column names when you use reserved keywords in query. group is a reserved keyword. So use `group`
See Reserved Words
I have ths query, again i'm trying to pass from pop3 account to mysql database:
mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO procesa_emails (body_mail, uid_message, fecha, from, to, subject, message_id) VALUES ('".mysqli_real_escape_string($con,htmlentities(str_replace("'","",str_replace('"','',$message))))."','".mysqli_real_escape_string($con,htmlentities($uid_mess))."','".mysqli_real_escape_string($con,htmlentities($fecha))."','".mysqli_real_escape_string($con,htmlentities($from))."','".mysqli_real_escape_string($con,htmlentities($to))."','".mysqli_real_escape_string($con,htmlentities($subject))."','".mysqli_real_escape_string($con,htmlentities($mui))."')")or die(mysqli_error($con));
But It returns me:
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 'from, to, subject, message_id)
I tried with str_replace("'","",str_replace('"'.'')) But It also doesn't work
FROM is a reserved keyword. So, if you want to use that inside your query, you need to wrap it in backticks, like so:
mysqli_query($con,"
INSERT INTO procesa_emails (body_mail, uid_message, fecha, `from`, ...
Hope this helps!
I have the following error:
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'select manufacturers_id, manufacturers_name, manufacturers_image, date_added, la' at line 1
The query:
SELECT COUNT(
SELECT manufacturers_id,
manufacturers_name,
manufacturers_image,
date_added,
last_modified
FROM manufacturers
ORDER BY manufacturers_name
) AS total
This happens also to some other categories in my website. All finish their line incomplete.
This query would do what you want:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM manufacturers
What's wrong with your query:
COUNT() accepts an expression or single column as parameter - you're passing multiple
ORDER BY doesn't make much sense as soon as what you need is just number of rows (for obvious reason that number doesn't depend on order)
Maybe because the code is not on here full but what I can see is the mysql/mysqli_query is missing, and the ";" at the end of the code.
Here is my query
INSERT INTO faq (order, heading, content)
VALUES ('$_POST[order]','$_POST[heading]','$_POST[content]')
I have a field before it called ID that I set to auto increment and INT
I get this error "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 'order, heading, content) VALUES ('Order','Title','content')' at line 1"
Is there something I am missing, it works just fine if the ID field doesn't exist?
order is a sql keyword. You need to use backticks to escape the word order
INSERT INTO faq (`order`, `heading`, `content`)
VALUES ('$_POST[order]','$_POST[heading]','$_POST[content]')
Also you should escape those $_POST parameters instead of inserting them directly into your SQL query:
$order = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['order']);
...
INSERT INTO faq (`order`, `heading`, `content`)
VALUES ('$order','$heading','$content')
I'm trying to run this query:
INSERT INTO table_a (fb_uid, from, to, time) VALUES (12345,'blah','test','2012-12-13 11:30:00')
But I'm getting:
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
'from, to, time) VALUES (12345,'blah','test','2012-12-13 11:3' at line 1
The query seems fine to me, what is wrong with it?
Use backticks on your fields to prevent a conflict with MySQL reserved words:
INSERT INTO table_a (`fb_uid`, `from`, `to`, `time`) VALUES (12345,'blah','test','2012-12-13 11:30:00')
In this case, from and to are the reserved words
See here for more information and a complete list of reserved words.
FROM and TO are reserved keyword,
INSERT INTO table_a (fb_uid, `from`, `to`, time)....
MySQL Reserved Keyword List
time is a restricted word, does this help:
INSERT INTO table_a (`fb_uid`, `x`, `y`, `time`) VALUES (12345,'blah','test','2012-12-13 11:30:00')
Escaping everything to be sure.
