errors in SQL syntax

[webguync]

anyone know why i would be getting errors in these SQL statements or how to debug?

 

$sql3="SELECT FROM $tbl_name2(`id`,`FirstName`,`LastName`,`Username`,`Password`,`Password2`,`email`,`Zip`,`Birthday`,`Security`,`Security2`) VALUES ('$id','$FirstName','$LastName','$UserName','$Password','$Password2','$email','$Zip','$Birthday','$Security','$Security2')"; 
$result3=mysql_query($sql3) or die(mysql_error());

 

$sql5="select * from $tbl_name where username = '$UserName'";

 

the error(s) is just the generic one such as

 

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 'FROM (`id`,`FirstName`,`LastName`,`Username`,`Password`,`Password2`,`email`,`Zip' at line 1

Two problems that I see:

 

echo $tbl_name2;

 

Also:

 

SELECT ?WHAT? FROM $tbl_name2

webguync, did you want to insert data to the database or select it from the database?

with that particular SQL statement Select All, so I guess I don't need the values :-)
