PhP mysql insert syntax error - php

Question

Below I am getting a syntax 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 'call, county, id, location, callcreated, station, units, calltype, lat, lng) VAL' at line 1, and cant figure out why! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "test", "test") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("firecom") or die(mysql_error());
$data = file_get_contents("http://208.71.205.35/PITS/");//thanks WCCCA!
$pattern = "/id=\"hidXMLID\" value=\"([^\"]+)\"/";//looking for the rnd xml id#
preg_match_all($pattern, $data, $xmlext);
$url = "http://208.71.205.35/PITS/xml/fire_data_" . $xmlext[1][0] . ".xml";//putting together the secret xml url
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
foreach ($xml->marker as $element) {
$lat = $element->attributes()->lat;
$lng = $element->attributes()->lng;
$countydirty = $element->AGENCY;// gets agency
$wcccanumberdirty = $element->CALL_NO;

mysql_query("INSERT INTO calls (wcccanumber, call, county, id, location, callcreated, station, units, calltype, lat, lng) VALUES('$wcccanumber', '$call', '$county', '$id', '$location', '$callcreated', '$station', '$units', '$calltype', '$lat', '$lng')") or die(mysql_error());
echo "$call - $county - $wcccanumber - $id - $location - $callcreated - $station - $units - $calltype <br />";

Answer 1

call is a reserved word, it must be encased in back ticks:
INSERT INTO calls (wcccanumber, `call`, ...

Answer 2

call is a reserved word in mysql, so if you use it as a column name you need to quote it in backticks:
wcccanumber, `call`, county...
Apart from that you need to switch to PDO / mysqli and prepared statements to fix the potential sql injection problem you have.

Answer 3

call is a reserved word. You'll have to quote it with backticks:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO calls (wcccanumber, `call`, county, id, ...
P.S. For a database problem (especially syntax errors), you don't need to include all of that DOM stuff. how you get the values for a query is pretty much always irrelevant.
