Hello I am creating pages using MySql and PHP with dream weaver. I created my master record set and detail page. the master record set works b but when you click the link to bring up the details page I get this 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 'name = 'Brandon' LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1"

Any help with guidance on trouble shooting error would be greatly appreciated.

>SELECT * FROM Roster WHERE First name = %s

In order to use columns that contains spaces in the name, you must quote them in your code, which is why you are getting the error.

Although MySQL may allow spaces in column names, it's a very bad practice. Many DBMS simply don't allow this.

Do yourself a big favor and rename those columns. You can do FirstName, firstName, first_name, fname, etc. Just be consistent with your naming conventions.


Thanks! I will make changes and post the results!
