(Inconsistent?) problems inserting into a table

[Sam Williams]

Hi all,

Just a quick note to ask for some advise as regards to my problem;

I have a table setup - microBsettings, that has these fields,

pin, activitybanner, microblogbanner, microblogcolour`, articlefollowscolour, admincolour, usercolour, keymodule, microblogmodule, activitymodule, microblogorder, activityorder, microblogresults, activityresults.

I am trying to insert into the table with the command...

mysql_query("INSERT INTO '" . $wpdb->prefix."microBsettings" . "'(
pin,
activitybanner,
microblogbanner,
microblogcolour,
articlefollowscolour,
admincolour,
usercolour,
keymodule,
microblogmodule,
activitymodule,
microblogorder,
activityorder,
microblogresults,
activityresults)
VALUES(

`".$_POST['pin']."`,
`".$_POST['activitybanner']."`,
`".$_POST['microblogbanner']."`,
`".$_POST['microblogcolour']."`,
`".$_POST['articlefollowscolour']."`,
`".$_POST['admincolour']."`,
`".$_POST['usercolour']."`,
`".$_POST['keymodule']."`,
`".$_POST['microblogmodule']."`,
`".$_POST['activitymodule']."`,
`".$_POST['microblogorder']."`,
`".$_POST['activityorder']."`,
`".$_POST['microblogresults']."`,
`".$_POST['activityresults']."`
);") or die('Error, insert query failed');



If I echo what the query looks like before the command, it comes out as:

INSERT INTO 'bf_microBsettings' ( pin, activitybanner, microblogbanner, microblogcolour`, articlefollowscolour, admincolour, usercolour, keymodule, microblogmodule, activitymodule, microblogorder, activityorder, microblogresults, activityresults )VALUES ( `1234`, `Microblog`, `Activity`, `#666666`, `#333333`, `#900000`, `#000033`, `TRUE`, `TRUE`, `TRUE`, `2`, `1`, `3`, `3` );

...and doesn't work (error code 1064, near line 1).

The strange thing is however, the phpmyadmin generated code:

INSERT INTO `web225-blog-1`.`bf_microBsettings` (
`pin` ,
`activitybanner` ,
`microblogbanner` ,
`microblogcolour` ,
`articlefollowscolour` ,
`admincolour` ,
`usercolour` ,
`keymodule` ,
`microblogmodule` ,
`activitymodule` ,
`microblogorder` ,
`activityorder` ,
`microblogresults` ,
`activityresults`
)
VALUES (
'1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '8', '7', '6', '5', '4'
);

*does* work.

Also, if I take the values section from the query generated by my code and swap it out with the one above, it works. However if I change the values section from the phpmyadmin code back to the orginal variables, it doesn't work.


I've spent a good 3 hours on this problem, so i'm not posing the question lightly. Also, sorry for having to post such large pieces of code, I didn't want to miss anything out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks,
Sam
