cant find the error in my code, needle in a haystack

silverglade · February 26, 2010

hi, i have a huge amount of code on one page, and i cant find the error, here is what the browser error is telling me

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 ') as character, avg(training_ability) as training_ability, avg(gives_recognition' at line 33

it is in the lower part of my page possibly, but i checked all the lines that i used "avg" and it looks perfect. so im at a loss. any help GREATLY appreciated. thanks. derek. here is the code

thank you very much. i dont understand? i have training_ability all over the code, am i missing it somewhere? please any more help greatly appreciated. thanks. derek

ok did some tests. had a feeling about using 'character' as a declaration. it is reserved by mysql. you can't use it. change character to something else and it should work.
