mme Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi I am trying to update some values in the database however I keep getting syntax errors: mysql_query("UPDATE updates SET ('file' = 'new.exe2', 'filename' = 'new.exe2', 'serverfile' = 'http://static.php.net/www.php.net/images/php.gif', 'md5' = '97f3c717da19b4697ae9884e67aab123') WHERE 'updateid' = 10;") or die(mysql_error()); However I keep getting this error: #1064 - 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 '('file' = 'new.exe2', 'filename' = 'new.exe2', 'serverfile' = 'http://static.php' at line 1 What is wrong with the code?

Pikachu2000 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Don't quote table/field names in the query string. If you need to enclose them for a query with MySQL, use backticks instead. `table` `field` Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217548-syntax-error-why/#findComment-1129459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
