syntax error in function argument

1. Try using code tags next time
2. Try changing the code to:

$result=mysql_query("select company from dynamic where id=$id") or die(mysql_error()); 
 

I have brought the variable inside the string.

Cheers

Mushfiq, to date you have named every thread you have started Dynamic Link. This explains nothing of the problem in this thread. We expect you to provide a meaningful title as it helps others who are searching the forum with the same problem.

Please take note of this as I have already warned you for not using code tags (and you have failed to do so again).

change the code to

$result=mysql_query("select company from dynamic where `id`="$id) or die(mysql_error());

@divyac this will result in the same error (for exactly the same reasons) plus the quotation marks are in the wrong place

*sigh*

for some basics on strings read this

To all concerned it's called 'concatenation'.
