mysql query error

Here is the error I get

 

ERROR: Could not execute query: INSERT INTO items (quickti, longti, desc, maincat, subcat1, subcat2, colour, size, style, price, stock, pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5, pic6, sold, saledate) VALUES ('quick', 'main title', 'description', 'Jewelry', 'Gemstones', 'Cubic Zirconia', 'Black', '50m', 'red', '1.50', '100', 'quick1', 'quick2', 'quick3', 'quick4', 'quick5', 'quick6', '0', '0'). 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 'desc, maincat, subcat1, subcat2, colour, size, style, price, stock, pic1, pic2, ' at line 1

 

Here is the relevant code

 

$sql = "INSERT INTO items (quickti, longti, desc, maincat, subcat1, subcat2, colour, size, style, price, stock, pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5, pic6, sold, saledate)

        VALUES ('$quickheading', '$heading', '$content', '$cat1', '$cat2', '$cat3', '$colour', '$size', '$style', '$total', '$stock', '$quick1', '$quick2', '$quick3', '$quick4', '$quick5', '$quick6', '0', '0')";

 

if I remove desc and $content from the query, then it works.  desc is a text field.

DESC is an SQL statement and therefore a forebidden field name, try renaming it

That solved it, I was looking at that for ages trying to work out what was wrong with it.  Thanks loads.

Glad it was that easy
