[PHP-DB] Strange MySQL Query Problem
I already got some replies for this but it wasn't it, here is the problem: I have a simple form which queries the database based on 2 pop-up menu choices and keywords entered by the user, it passes on the variables as follows: pop-up1=choice1, pop-up2=choice2, textfield=user specified data the query is as follows $result = mysql_query(SELECT some_id, some_description, some_feature FROM '$pop-up1' WHERE some_description LIKE '%$texfield%' AND some_feature LIKE '%$pop-up2'); it tells me that column which equals to the $texfield does not exists, meaning that the query seems to be fed wrong? No idea here, $texfield and $pop-up2 are not requests for tables but matches in those tables a bit buffled I am, I've these queries before on larger web servers, this is the first time on my workstation and it does just that, simpler queries work fine... thanks in advance, R ps. the form is guarded against empty entries ps2.

Re: [PHP-DB] Strange MySQL Query Problem
From your query, it looks as if you are letting the user select the table that they can query with $pop-up1. Is that correct? If so, do all the available choices of tables have the same column names? Other than that I can't see why this query would fail.
