简单的mysql查询

Question

$to = '555';
$from = '555';
$message = 'stuff';



mysql_query("INSERT INTO `convo` (to, from, content) 
              VALUES ( '$to', '$from', '$message' )") or die(mysql_error());

I can't figure out what is wrong with my above simple query. What obvious thing am I missing?

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, content) VALUES ( '555', '555', 'stuff' )' at line 1

Answer 1

It looks like to is a MySQL reserved word.

Try

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `convo` (`to`, `from`, `content`) VALUES ( '$to', '$from', '$message' )") or die(mysql_error());

Answer 2

TO is a MySQL keyword. To fix this, wrap backticks around your to field.
