An error I just don't get, MYSQL PDO PHP

Question

Trying to run this insert query

$query = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO `contacts` (`id`, `firstname`, `lastname`, `phonenumber`, `rank`, `time`) VALUES (NULL, :firstname, :lastname, :authcode, '1', NOW()");
$query->execute(array(":firstname" => $firstname, ":lastname" => $lastname, ":phone" => $phone));
$message[1] = '<font color=lime>Successfully added!</font>';

I get this error:

Warning: PDOStatement::execute() [pdostatement.execute]: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 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 '' at line 1 in /public_html/contacts/add.php on line 61

This ($query->execute(array...) being line 61

Answer 1

Your query is incorrect, that's why you are receiving syntax error. You missed ending ) .

INSERT INTO contacts (
   id,
   firstname,
   lastname,
   phonenumber,
   rank,
   time
) VALUES (
   NULL,
   :firstname,
   :lastname,
   :phone,
   '1',
   NOW()
)

It's easier to find such mistakes after formatting query.
