PHP sees the first " of "Consultancy" as being the end of the variable $sql.
To get round this, change the " to ' inside the statement (e.g. ...where
Business_Type = 'Consultancy' and...)

Subject: SQL statement in PHP
Can anybody help with this
If I put the following statement in PHP my browser tells me that there is an
error on the line.
//create sql statement
$sql = "select Business_Name,Trading_Details where Business_Type =
"Consultancy" and Bassingbourn != "0" from Main";
If I remove
where Business_Type = "Consultancy" and Bassingbourn != "0"
It work fine, but no variation of the above line works. Am I missing
something really obvious. Please help as I am very quickly becoming bald.
Matt.
