MySQL: DROP TABLE Syntax Error

[OtagoHarbour]

I'm running MySQL under PHP. I use the following to delete a table called SubScribers. mysql_select_db("DraculaDB", $con); DROP TABLE SubScribers;For some reason, the latter line results in the following error message.Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

Using MySQL in PHP is not like using embedded SQL - you need to enclose your query in a mysql_query() call. It also needs to be a string.

I changed the call tomysql_query("DROP TABLE SubScribers");and it appears to work.Thanks very much,Peter.
