[SOLVED] Error in SQL Syntax

Recommended Posts

I've been working on a php login script thinking I'm almost at the finish line until I run into the following 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 ''Admin' WHERE 'username'='test' AND 'password'='07faabda7560acb21c5d43543fe2' at line 1

As far as I know the server is using the latest and greatest version of MySQL.  Now, I'm still fairly new to MySQL, but this shouldn't be all that difficult.  What am I doing wrong?  Any suggestions?

 

Here's my script (adminlogin.php):

<?php
session_start();
//Login form (adminlogin.php)
error_reporting(E_ALL);

require_once('site_fns.php');
do_html_header('Brittanys Admin page');
do_menu_main2('');

if(!$_POST['submit']) // 'submit' hasn't been clicked so output html.
{
?>
<form action="adminlogin.php" method="post">
	<div  id="menu" class="mainMenu">
		<fieldset>
		  <legend>Admin Login</legend>
		  <ul>
			<li>
			  <label for="username">Username:</label>
			  <input type="text" name="username" />
			</li>
			<li>
			  <label for="password">Password:</label>
			  <input type="password" name="password" />
			</li>
		  </ul>
		<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" />
		</fieldset>
	</div>
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
$user= protect($_POST['username']);
$pass= protect($_POST['password']);


//Here's the protect function to prevent SQL injection.  Called from site_fns.php
//function protect($string)
//	{
//	  $string = mysql_real_escape_string($string);
//	  return $string;
//	}

if($user && $pass)
{
$pass = md5($pass); //compare the encrypted password
$sql="SELECT id,username FROM 'Admin' WHERE 'username'='$user' AND 'password'='$pass'";
$query=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

    if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0)
    {
      $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query); // mysql_fetch_assoc gets the value for each field in the row
      $_SESSION['id'] = $row['id']; //creates the first session var
      $_SESSION['username'] = $row['username']; // second session var

      echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">window.location=\"mainadmin.php\"</script>";	
    }
    else
   {
    echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">
alert(\"Username and password combination is incorrect!\");
window.location=\"index.php\"</script>";
   }	
}
else
{			
   echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">
alert(\"You need to gimme a username AND password!\");
window.location=\"index.php\"</script>";
}
}
do_html_footer();
?>

 

Here's my db structure:

id         int(10)      not null   unasigned   auto_increment
username  varchar(32)    not null
password  varchar(225)  not null
