i had this error once, and it was becuase in phpmyadmin i had set the wrong character for the 'fields terminated by'...see pic on following url: imort csv via phpmyadmin

thanks mwasif. don't know how the original one could be relevant, just wanted to make sure that the show create table did return the current structure....(working on modifying a pretty large 3rd party script and am changing the structure of a table)

Does the 'show create table' command reflect any updates/alterations done to a table, or does it return the original command used to a create a table prior to altering any tables?
