virtuexru Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Probably a really stupid question, I'm trying to match two URLS to check for duplicates, keep getting an error, here is my code: <?php $id = "6096899"; $lotch = "http://web.website.com/cgi-bin/buyer/lotdetail.dtw/disp?lot=".$id; // $lotch is the same as _alink in table, _alink is: "http://web.website.com/cgi-bin/buyer/lotdetail.dtw/disp?lot=6096899" $query = "SELECT * FROM vehicles WHERE $lotch = _alink"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { die("Duplicate"); } ?> Error 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 '://web.website.com/cgi-bin/buyer/lotdetail.dtw/disp?lot=19437148 = _alink' at line 1 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/142375-solved-sql-query-syntax/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
