Earpy Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 if (isset($_POST['note'])) { $note = $_POST['note']; $author = $_POST['by']; $sql = "INSERT INTO notes SET note='$note', by='$author'"; if (@mysql_query($sql)) { echo 'News item has been added'; } else { echo 'Error adding the news item: ' . mysql_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 'by='gjkgjfd'' at line 2 I really have no idea what the problem is. A form with a textarea and a text box submit to this page and it's the only code on the page, yet it's giving me this error. It's staring me right in the face but I just can't see it. Any help will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Try: $sql = "INSERT INTO notes (by, note) VALUES ('$by', '$note')"; "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
