CREATE TABLE `messages` (
`id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`title` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL 
`message` TEXT NOT NULL ,

This code is causing an error. Any help

Why not tell us what the error is?

I already spotted the error myself. It's a syntax error, you forgot a comma after '`message` TEXT NOT NULL '.

This should work:

Code:

---

CREATE TABLE `messages` (
`id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`title` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL ,
`message` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`from` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
`to` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
`from_viewed` BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`to_viewed` BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`from_deleted` BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`to_deleted` BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`from_vdate` DATETIME NULL ,
`to_vdate` DATETIME NULL ,
`from_ddate` DATETIME NULL ,
`to_ddate` DATETIME NULL ,
`created` DATETIME NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

Hi everyone,

PHP Code:

---

CREATE TABLE pmsys(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY(id),
to VARCHAR(30),
from VARCHAR(32),
title VARCHAR(32),
message VARCHAR(250),
date VARCHAR(30),
ifread VARCHAR(30)) 


---

#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 'to VARCHAR(30), from VARCHAR(32), title VARCHAR(32), message VARCHAR(250), d' at line 4


Any help

Read JShor's message. Did that not fix it?

The code I just posted is a differnet one

from is a reserved word (it's a SQL command). It is always good practice to escape table names, column names, etc. using backticks. sql doesn't automatically know that the name you write is a name; it is only after checking it against possible commands/keywords (and finding it doesn't match) that it decides to treat it as a value. this is good for forward-compatibility as well. for example:

Code:

---

CREATE TABLE `pmsys`(
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY(`id`),
`to` VARCHAR(30),
`from` VARCHAR(32),
`title` VARCHAR(32),
`message` VARCHAR(250),
`date` VARCHAR(30),
`ifread` VARCHAR(30))

---

note that these are backticks ( ` ), not single-quotes ( ' ).

keyboard1333 didn't show clearly what the error you spotted, so i can't know it exactly. But, i think maybe problem in here is your table name "messages". In past, i used to create tables with some popular name, unfortunately it duplicate with same system name were create before. It can made wrong understand and error here.
Can you try another table name? Maybe it works.

This issue was already resolved. It was a visible syntax error.
