SQL problems

[hmsnacker123]

Hi, i am currently writing a php script that use's mysql, i'll cut straight to the point - heres the sql code:

SELECT f.id as id, f.forum_name as forum, 
    f.forum_desc as description,
    count(forum_id) as threads, u.name as mod
  FROM forum_forum f
  LEFT JOIN forum_posts p
  ON f.id = p.forum_id
  AND p.topic_id=0
  LEFT JOIN forum_users u
  ON f.forum_moderator = u.id
  GROUP BY f.id

And when it try to load the page that its on, i get this:

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 'mod FROM forum_forum f LEFT JOIN forum_posts p ON f.id = p.forum_id ' at line 3

If anyone can spot any errors in the code / or correct it, it will be greatly appreciated.

I think you need a comma here...

FROM forum_forum, f

Hey, thanks for the idea but it doesent work, umm anyone else have any ideas?

where is your where clause?

[hmsnacker123]

there does'nt have to be one does there?

[tfit]

No, not necessarily, but does join work with and or does where work with and?
But your string is very confusing: u isn't included in from and join works on tables.
So what happens if you replace:

FROM forum_forum f

with

FROM forum_forum, f, u

there is an operator mod() in MySQL. (Checked it in mysql documentation)

I think problem is in it.

u.name as mod
