Problems with this simple query

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this simple 'create table' query?

 

$query = 'CREATE TABLE profiles (

profileID INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

day_of_birth INT NOT NULL,

month_of_birth INT NOT NULL,

year_of_birth INT NOT NULL,

gender VARCHAR (6) NOT NULL,

education VARCHAR (16) NOT NULL,

country VARCHAR (16) NOT NULL,

state TEXT NOT NULL,

name TEXT NOT NULL,

things TEXT NOT NULL,

books TEXT NOT NULL,

songs TEXT NOT NULL,

movies TEXT NOT NULL,

people TEXT NOT NULL,

beliefs TEXT NOT NULL,

values TEXT NOT NULL,

live TEXT NOT NULL,

sad TEXT NOT NULL,

change TEXT NOT NULL,

date_entered DATETIME NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (profileID)

)';

 

I'm getting this error message:

 

Could not create the table because:

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 'values TEXT NOT NULL, live TEXT NOT NULL, sad TEXT NOT NULL, change TEXT NOT NUL' at line 17.

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

The line "values TEXT NOT NULL,".

It's actually not being treated as a column name.

 

Try this...

query = 'CREATE TABLE `profiles` (
`profileID` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`day_of_birth` INT NOT NULL,
`month_of_birth` INT NOT NULL,
`year_of_birth` INT NOT NULL,
`gender` VARCHAR (6) NOT NULL,
`education` VARCHAR (16) NOT NULL,
`country` VARCHAR (16) NOT NULL,
`state` TEXT NOT NULL,
`name` TEXT NOT NULL,
`things` TEXT NOT NULL,
`books` TEXT NOT NULL,
`songs` TEXT NOT NULL,
`movies` TEXT NOT NULL,
`people` TEXT NOT NULL,
`beliefs` TEXT NOT NULL,
`values` TEXT NOT NULL,
`live` TEXT NOT NULL,
`sad` TEXT NOT NULL,
`change` TEXT NOT NULL,
`date_entered` DATETIME NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`profileID`)
)';
