Problem on IF STATEMENT on TRIGGER with MySql

[ihaveguts]

Hi Everybody,

i found out that to create a trigger i have to remove the BEGIN and END and it works, but as i put an IF STATEMENT inside like this one:

CREATE TRIGGER status_history_upd AFTER UPDATE ON projects
FOR EACH ROW

IF NEW.project_status != OLD.project_status THEN
INSERT INTO project_status_history
SET status_change_date = NEW.project_edit_date,
project_id = NEW.project_id,
status_id = NEW.project_status;
END IF;

for some reason it gives me back this error:

MySQL said:
#1064 - 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 'INSERT INTO project_status_history
SET status_change_date = NEW.project_edi' at line 5

I really have to put the IF statement because i need to run the INSERT just in some cases.

Can someone please help?

Thanks

Gabriele
