Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'User'.PHP Warning: mssql_query() [function.mssql-query]: message: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'User'.

Real basic problems, but can't get php to do anything with mssql! any ideas i'm a real beginner the database and table exist and have data within it seems I can connect but not retreive any data with php. On annoying note I am making a back end to the site in Coldfusion and it will work with the database but too has limited functionality (although not as bad as the php)
Thanks in advance.
