I have a little problem with escaping table name. I was so stupid that i choose "show" for the name of table. When I use mysqli connection the escaping works fine, but its not working with classical mysql connection. Any advise? Sorry for my English, I am not native speaker.
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS year, nameShow
FROM `show`
LIMIT 0, 10
I get error as
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 'show' at line 2 –
Query
$sQuery = "
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS year, nameShow
FROM `show`
$sWhere
$sOrder
$sLimit
";

Each of these sequences begins with a backslash ( \ ), known as the escape character. MySQL recognizes the escape sequences shown in Table 9.1, “Special Character Escape Sequences”. For all other escape sequences, backslash is ignored. That is, the escaped character is interpreted as if it was not escaped.
To escape reserved keywords in SQL SELECT statements and in queries on views, enclose them in double quotes ('').
The syntax to get all table names with the help of SELECT statement. mysql> use test; Database changed mysql> SELECT Table_name as TablesName from information_schema. tables where table_schema = 'test'; Output with the name of the three tables.
Section 9.3 of MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual says back ticks (`) or double quotes ("), however, I'd go with Fahim Parkar's comment above and just rename the table.
Also worth noting, you must use ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode if using double quotes per Section 9.2:
If the ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode is enabled, it is also permissible to quote identifiers within double quotation marks
