PDOException error in mysql SQL syntax [duplicate] - php

Syntax error due to using a reserved word as a table or column name in MySQL
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am trying to create 2 tables in the same MySQL database with a PHP-script:
table 'user' with primary key 'user_id' and table 'order' with primary key 'order_id' and foreign key 'user_id' from the 'user' table (1 to many relationship).
Table user creates successfully without problems:
$sql="CREATE TABLE user(
user_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
type ENUM('member','admin') NOT NULL,
username VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
pass VARBINARY(32) NOT NULL,
first_name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
last_name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
date_expires DATE NOT NULL,
date_created TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
date_modified TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
PRIMARY KEY (user_id),
UNIQUE (username),
UNIQUE (email)
)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8";
However, I am not able to create table order:
$sql="CREATE TABLE order(
order_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
user_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
transaction_id VARCHAR(19) NOT NULL,
payment_status VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
payment_amount DECIMAL(6,2) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
payment_date_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (order_id),
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES user (user_id)
)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8";
I get the following error:
Error creating table: 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( order_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, user_id ' at line 1
Already checked the syntax and cannot find the mistake. Could you please advise what went wrong? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You need to escape reserved words like order with backticks
CREATE TABLE `order` ( ...
or better use another name instead.

Answer 2

order is keyword used by mysql like (select from tbl_name order by id ASC) so for escaping from using keywords you have to use quotes `` to avoid my sql error
so your query should by
$sql="CREATE TABLE `order` (
order_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
user_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
transaction_id VARCHAR(19) NOT NULL,
payment_status VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
payment_amount DECIMAL(6,2) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
payment_date_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (order_id),
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES user (user_id)
)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8";
enjoy :D
