My website has several forms. When I process one of the forms, I get the error messages below.

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 'Condition, Length, Color, City, `State`, Email, Photo) VALUES ('29', '4', 'Used'' at line 1.

On another form, I get this message:  Incorrect table name ''

Please help.  I am a novice!!!

Thanks.

There's an error somewhere in your code so you need to post your code.

There are many things wrong with your form code. Options don't have values for one.

Also, you haven't posted your processing script.

Furthermore, you need to provide your database table schema.

Assuming that you're not working on a local testing server, you may be subjecting yourself to potential vulnerabilities if you're uploading several forms to your website without proper knowledge of what it is that you're putting on your site. I suggest you learn your language first and then upload it to your site once you know exactly what it is that you're uploading, not the other way around where you upload things to your site when you have no idea what you're doing and then learn afterwards what you should of done (the hard way i.e. compromising your database or worse). If you're developing locally on a testing server then disregard my warning and read up on some books to learn php.

BTW, mentioning your scripting language in your original post is a good way to get accurate feedback as well. You never mentioned your scripting language in your other post regarding file upload capability in a form, even after I recommended that you do so.
