MySQL /* ??? */

[Avri Lev]

Hello everyone,
I have a problem regarding sql syntax.

I've enterd the following:

SELECT car_id, make, price, mileage, description
FROM cars
INNER JOIN makes USING (make_id)
/* WHERE make = '[Variable]' */
ORDER BY price

When executing this code, I get an error (1064) and all lines above the 5th line disappear.

Anyone has an idea of solution/fixing this (obvious) bug?

Thanks,
Avri

I'm using phpMyAdmin ver 4.3.4, MySQL 5.6.17 on a local machine
