[SOLVED] Insert Error

[forumnz]

Hello,

 

I get this error when executing the below code:

 

Error: 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, keyw, addst, addsu, addci, addre, addpc, userid, ph, ph2, freeph, fax, ema' at line 1

<?php
$buzzname=$_POST['buzzname'];
$sub=$_POST['sub'];
$desc=$_POST['desc'];
$keyw=$_POST['keyw'];
$addst=$_POST['addst'];
$addsu=$_POST['addsu'];
$addci=$_POST['addci'];
$addre=$_POST['addre'];
$addpc=$_POST['addpc'];
$ph=$_POST['ph'];
$ph2=$_POST['ph2'];
$freeph=$_POST['freeph'];
$fax=$_POST['fax'];
$email=$_POST['email'];

$uid = $_SESSION['id'];

include('../dbcon.php');

$sql="INSERT INTO cmads (buzzname, sub, desc, keyw, addst, addsu, addci, addre, addpc, userid, ph, ph2, freeph, fax, email) VALUES ('$buzzname','$sub','$desc','$keyw','$addst','$addsu','$addci','$addre','$addpc','$uid','$ph','$ph2','$freeph','$fax','$email')";

if (!mysql_query($sql))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
echo "1 record added";

?>

 

Whats going on?

 

I have a similar page which works:

<?php
$fname=$_POST['fname'];
$lname=$_POST['lname'];
$buzzname=$_POST['buzzname'];
$buzzaddst=$_POST['buzzaddst'];
$buzzaddsu=$_POST['buzzaddsu'];
$buzzaddci=$_POST['buzzaddci'];
$buzzaddre=$_POST['buzzaddre'];
$buzzpc=$_POST['buzzpc'];
$buzzph=$_POST['buzzph'];
$buzzph2=$_POST['buzzph2'];
$buzzfreeph=$_POST['buzzfreeph'];
$buzzfax=$_POST['buzzfax'];
$uaddst=$_POST['uaddst'];
$uaddsu=$_POST['uaddsu'];
$uaddci=$_POST['uaddci'];
$upc=$_POST['upc'];
$uph=$_POST['uph'];
$uph2=$_POST['uph2'];
$ufax=$_POST['ufax'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$password = md5($password);

include('../dbcon.php');

$sql="INSERT INTO cmusers (ufname, ulname, buzzname, buzzaddst, buzzaddsu, buzzaddci, buzzaddre, buzzpc, buzzph, buzzph2, buzzfreeph, buzzfax, uaddst, uaddsu, uaddci, upc, uph, uph2, ufax, email, username, password) VALUES ('$fname','$lname','$buzzname','$buzzaddst','$buzzaddsu','$buzzaddci','$buzzaddre','$buzzpc','$buzzph','$buzzph2','$buzzfreeph','$buzzfax','$uaddst','$uaddsu','$uaddci','$ups','$uph','$uph2','$ufax','$email','$username','$password')";

if (!mysql_query($sql))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
echo "1 record added";


?>

 

Thanks,

Sam.

desc is a reserved word. Avoid using reserved words as table or field names.

 

Sloppy workaround is to enclose the name with `backticks`

[MadTechie]

i think desc is reserved

 

EDIT: to slow!

i think desc is reserved

 

I know it is
