Mysql Insert Help

[fantity]

For some reason this query is giving me an error:

 

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}


mysql_select_db("db", $con);



mysql_query("INSERT INTO joblist (title, desc, pay)
VALUES ('title', 'description','pay')");


if (mysql_errno()) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}




mysql_close($con);
?>

 

Error: Invalid query: 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, pay) VALUES ('title', 'description','pay')' at line 1

Desc is a reserved word. Surround it with back ticks or change to a better name.
