Re: Problem with an insert query
Hello. The INSERT ... VALUES and INSERT ... SET forms of the statement insert rows based on explicitly specified values. So you can't use select in the value clause. Instead you should use insert ... select. By the way: don't forget to escape single quotes in text which you insert.

If you want it to insert the apostrophe, it needs to be escaped or doubled up. ...and I got the members'' phone numbers so There may be others, but that was the only one I could find. You'll probably find that the other error relating to the select count(*)... may well disappear when you fix this.
