escape problem

[robert_gsfame]

I have this

 

$string=$_GET['name'];

$query=mysql_query(sprintf("SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE username='%s' AND name REGEXP '[[:<:]]$string[[:>:]]'=1",

mysql_real_escape_string($username)));

 

and i get the error

 

parse error, unexpected '[', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

 

which part should be modified??

That is a php error and I suspect it is occurring prior to the code you have posted.
