Anansie Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Hello! I am learning how to use MySQL and i have this little problem with inserting values; after i type this: INSERT INTO books (author, title) VALUES (`William Shakespeare`, `Hamlet`); the message I receive is : Unknown column `William Shakespeare` in `field list`. What is wrong? I would appreciate if i receive a little help. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/533-inserting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
