Hi All
I have just started this book having read it from cover to cover.
Page 39
create table tablename (field1 type1, field2 type2, ... ...,); produced the result
Error 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL sybtax.......... Checking this in the manual I see it refered to alterations made to mysql in recent updates.
Error: 1064 SQLSTATE: 42000 (ER_PARSE_ERROR)
Message: %s near '%s' at line %d

I am not sure what this means but this could be a reason for the error when I type the code the book recommeds. I am using MYSQL version 4.13.

I am also not sure if the author intends us to enter in additional fields or the dots. Most likely seems obivious to others.

Any comment on this gratefully recieved. I do not want to add to the dificulty in learning PHP/MYSQL

All the best

CREATE TABLE tbl_name(
col_name_text VARCHAR(1),
col_name_int tinyint(11)
);

mysql correct syntax, otherwise this book does suck
