I'm making a PM script, but MySQL think there are errors in it. Here it is (the code to add the PM do the database):
\n
/* ENDS HERE */ $title = addslashes($_POST["title"]); $msg = nl2br(addslashes($_POST["msg"])); $date = date("Y-m-d"); /* Insert into database */ $sql = "INSERT INTO pms (to, from, title, msg, date) VALUES ('".$to."', '".$from."', '".$title."', '".$msg."', '".$date."')"; $result = mysql_query("$sql"); $bajs = mysql_error(); ?>
\n
I have a form on another page with input boxes with the names I've written in the code, that isn't the problem. The database tables is called 'pms' and the columns in it are called what I've written in there. $bajs is echoed later on the page, and this is what it says:
"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 'to, from, title, msg, date) VALUES ('her', 'Dingbats', '12".
The title I filled in was '1234567890'. It seems that the SQL string is to long or something, though that seems weird since I have SQL strings that are way longer than that one.
Maybe I've done some simple n00b mistake in there, can someone please help me?:|

from and date might be reserved keywords for mysql, which would be why it identifies that bit as the error

good point. I'm pretty sure from will cause a mysql error, seeing as it's "select * FROM". Don't know about date tho.

i think 'to' might throw an error too - i know i had to name my database fields 'sender' and 'recipient' when making my PMs system

Yep, I've changed 'to' to 'to_', 'from' to 'from_' and 'date' to 'date_', and it works now.:)
