MySQL的插入PHP语句不断抛出错误

Question

Does anybody know why the following PHP code keeps throwing errors: I have been unable to log any proper error other than the if statement $result not going through and giving me the Echo 'Error' statement. Is there something wrong with my insertion?

    $new_tbl_name = 'Password_Reset';

   $sql = "INSERT INTO $new_tbl_name (Email, Key) VALUES ('$email','$resetHash')";

   $result = mysql_query($sql);


    if ($result) {
    }
    else {
       echo 'Error';
     }

key is a reserved word , you'll have to escape it:

INSERT INTO $new_tbl_name (Email, `Key`) VALUES
                                  ^   ^

As a general suggestion, simply saying "error" is utterly useless for debugging purposes. Have mysql TELL you what's wrong:

if (!$result) {
   die(mysql_error());
}

so you have a clue as to what's wrong, instead of just poking around in the dark.
