$query = “INSERT INTO books (key,author,title,publisher,year,cat) VALUES (’$bookKey’,’$auth’,’$title’,’$publisher’,’$year’,’$cat’);”;

Can anybody tell me what’s wrong with the above query? I, for the life of me, can’t find anything odd about it, but I’m also very tired…can anybody find Waldo?

**The Exact Error:**

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘key,author,title,publisher,year,cat) V’ at line 1
