fran Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 $sql = "UPDATE books SET id = '$id', (etc...) READ= '$READ, CONDITION = '$CONDITION', (etc...) I have 29 fields to add to a MySql database. The problem is the two fields shown above. If I replace them with something else such as RD and COND, they work perfectly. Is there a list of words that are not allowed in PHP/MySql?l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

premiso Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/reserved-words.html Has a list of reserved words in MySQL, if you want to use them encase the reserved ones in backticks, however it is preferred to change them. $sql = "UPDATE books SET id = '$id', (etc...) `READ`= '$READ, `CONDITION` = '$CONDITION', (etc...)
