[PHP] SQL statement in PHP

2001-02-16 Thread Matt Davis

Can anybody help with this

If I put the following statement in PHP my browser tells me that there is an
error on the line.

//create sql statement
$sql = "select Business_Name,Trading_Details where Business_Type =
"Consultancy" and Bassingbourn != "0" from Main";

If I remove

where Business_Type = "Consultancy" and Bassingbourn != "0"

It work fine, but no variation of the above line works. Am I missing
something really obvious. Please help as I am very quickly becoming bald.


Matt.

Matt,

Maybe the mistake is at the quotes...
Just replace the double quotes inside the select statement by single
quotes...

Try something like:

snip code
  $sql = "select Business_Name,Trading_Details where
Business_Type='Consultancy' and Bassingbourn != '0' from Main";
/snip code  
^   ^ ^ ^
