Second set of eyes? INSERT error

Recommended Posts

I keep getting the following error:
[quote]Query send failedYou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'by,additional,sentdate,subject) VALUES ('','24,'Envi','','Jalee' at line 1[/quote]

here's the code

[code]
$date = date('Y-m-d');
$send = "INSERT INTO report_user (id,ip,reported,rptmessage,by,additional,sentdate,subject) VALUES

('','$ip,'$_POST[reported]','$message','$userpenname','$add','$date','$sub')";
$sent = mysql_query($send) or die("Query send failed".mysql_error());[/code]


I'm not sure what the problem is, I've looked at it a few times and I must be missing something...

Try this:

[code]
$date = date('Y-m-d');
$reported = $_POST["reported"];
$send = mysql_query("INSERT INTO report_user (id, ip, reported, rptmessage, by, additional, sentdate, subject) VALUES ('','$ip,'$reported','$message','$userpenname','$add','$date','$sub')") or die("Query send failed ".mysql_error());
[/code]

Found it:

Try this:


$date = date('Y-m-d');
$reported = $_POST["reported"];
$send = mysql_query("INSERT INTO report_user (id, ip, reported, rptmessage, by, additional, sentdate, subject) VALUES ('','$ip[b]'[/b],'$reported','$message','$userpenname','$add','$date','$sub')") or die("Query send failed ".mysql_error());

Forgot a single quote there :)

there is nothing wrong with the query, it you COLUMN NAMING

by = reserved word!

I recommend you change that column name, or use backtic operators to enclose it `by`, but that's bad logic, because the MySQL road map states it's going to put more restrictions on reserved words in furtue versions of MySQL!!!

me!
