wezly Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 hey, here is the code I am using. mysql_connect("localhost","XXXXXX","XXXXXX") or die("Could not connect."); mysql_select_db("XXXXXX"); $query="SELECT * FROM VIDEO_SESSIONS"; $result=mysql_query($query); while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $timeslider = $db_field['timeslider']; } $message=$_POST['message']; $name=$me['first_name']; if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ if(strlen($message)<1) { print "You did not input a message"; } else if(strlen($name)<1) { print "Please login with Facebook to post a message"; } else { $insertmessage="INSERT INTO CHAT_SESSIONS (user_id,user_message,current_time) VALUES ('$name', '$message', '$timeslider')"; mysql_query($insertmessage); echo mysql_error(); } } ?> I am getting this error everytime I try and INSERT into the database " You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'current_time) VALUES ('Luke', 'Hello?', '00:23:00')' at line 2 " it works fine without the '$timeslider' which is a time stored on the database in the format 00:00:00 why does it not want to store the time back in a different table.. same format!?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 current_time, the point in the query that is being called out in the error message, is a reserved mysql keyword. You either need to rename your column or enclose that in back-ticks `` every time you use it in a query.
