mysql error (dash in table name)?

How can I correct this error apart from eliminating the dash in
United-Kingdom?

Couldn't execute query 'SELECT * FROM United-Kingdom ORDER BY level
DESC': 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 '-Kingdom ORDER BY level DESC' at line 1

Put back-ticks around the table name. Personally though, I'd remove
the dash and save the hassle of remembering the back-ticks.

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...
