MySQL syntax error check for the right syntax to use near 'A (A) )' at line 1

Expand Post »
heres the complete error that i am getting.

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 'A (A) )' at line 1

does anyone else get these errors at all?

[php]<?php
$host = "localhost"; //location of the mysql
$name = "michael"; //user name for logging into mysql
$pass = ""; //password for logging into mysql

$TBname = "$_POST[TBname]"; //name of the table for Creation
$DBname = "$_POST[DBname]"; //name of the database for working in
$field = "$_POST[field]"; //name of the field
$type = "$_POST[type]"; //type of field
$length = "$_POST[length]"; //length of field
$prim = "$_POST[primary]"; //is field primary key or not
$incr = "$_POST[auto_increment]"; //is field auto_incrementing

mysql_connect($host, $name, $pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($DBname) or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "CREATE TABLE $TBname ("; //creates the table

for ($count = 0; $count < count($field); $count++)
{
$sql .= $field[$count] . " " . $type[$count];

if ($incr[$count] == "y")
{
$additional = "NOT NULL auto_increment";
}
else
{
$additional = "";
}
if ($prim[$count] == "y")
{
$additional .= ", primary key (" . $field[$count] . ")";
}
else
{
$additional = "";
}
if ($length[$count] != "")
{
$sql .= " (" .$length[$count] . ") $additional ,";
}
else
{
$sql .= " $additional ,";
}
}
// clean up the end of the string
$sql = substr($sql, 0, -1);
$sql .= ")";

$result = mysql_query($sql, mysql_connect($host, $name, $pass)) or die(mysql_error()); // execute the query

if ($result)
{
$msg = "<p>" . $TBname . "has been created</p>";
}
echo "Adding $TBname to $DBname ....Done<br />";
echo "Creating fields in $TBname ....Done<br />";
echo $msg . "<br />";
echo "<a href=\"http://localhost/dbadmin/db_management.php\">Return to Database Management</a>";
?>[/php]

so far ive written most of cheap spin off of phpmyadmin without a hitch, but now ive run into this error. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: MySQL syntax error check for the right syntax to use near 'A (A) )' at line 1

well im not getting that error anymore, but heres the new one.

Heres the Error:
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 '123 char (41) ,)' at line 1

where 123 is first row. char is the type, and 41 is the length

and when i try to define one rows as being auto_increment i get this error;

Incorrect column specifier for column 'column name'

$DBname = "$_POST[DBname]"; //name of the database for working in

$connect = mysql_connect($host, $name, $pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($DBname) or die(mysql_error());

{
$sql .= $_POST[field][$count] . " " . $_POST[type][$count];
