DarkWater Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 You can't have a WHERE with an INSERT. And why the [ ] around the table name? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/118836-solved-invalid-syntax-with-query/#findComment-611910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkWater Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 No you're not. Are you trying to do an UPDATE instead...? INSERT WHERE makes no sense.

DarkWater Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Then what are you doing...? And I'm not being arrogant, believe me. o-O How am I being arrogant by saying that INSERT WHERE makes no sense? It doesn't. You're inserting a new row. There's nothing to WHERE about.

ag3nt42 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 its not always what you say man its how you say it and if you want to get "makes sense" on it.. then yes it DOES make sense cuz i'm not updating any information..

DarkWater Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah, but you can't tell how I'm saying something on a forum. Believe me, I wasn't being arrogant. Now, what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this code?

DarkWater Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Don't take every tutorial as pure truth. There can be mistakes. The MySQL manual for INSERT highlights the 3 syntax options as: INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [iGNORE] [iNTO] tbl_name [(col_name,...)] {VALUES | VALUE} ({expr | DEFAULT},...),(...),... [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col_name=expr [, col_name=expr] ... ] Or: INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [iGNORE] [iNTO] tbl_name SET col_name={expr | DEFAULT}, ... [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col_name=expr [, col_name=expr] ... ] Or: INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | HIGH_PRIORITY] [iGNORE] [iNTO] tbl_name [(col_name,...)] SELECT ... [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col_name=expr [, col_name=expr] ... ] No WHERE. =P It logically doesn't make much sense....
