Query Responds With Check the 'Function Name Parsing and Resolution' section in the Reference Manual

Question

Would someone please explain to me what is wrong with this??

SELECT COUNT (`ID`) FROM `tableImSpecifying` WHERE `VisitorsEmail` = \'$VarThatHoldsEmailFromA$_         


        

Answer 1

This:

FUNCTION myhost_classifieds.COUNT does not exist. Check the 'Function Name Parsing and Resolution' section in the Reference Manual

Would prompt you to read this

Which leads you to alter this:

COUNT (`ID`)

To:

COUNT(`ID`)

(note the removed space).

(you could also fiddle around with IGNORE_SPACE, but I wouldn't recommend it for a novice.
