Php Error advice

Im using a script to carryout a search on a mysql database and im getting the following error:

"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use"

Can anyone provide some info on this, is this something to do with the sql query i am using? Any advice would be must appreciated.

This is a problem with the query. You should check the rest of the error, it should indicate what is wrong with the SQL command you are executing.

PHP is a computer scripting language. Originally designed for producing dynamic web pages, it has evolved to include a command line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications.While PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, the main mplementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as there is no formal specification. Released under the PHP License, the Free Software Foundation considers it to be free software.
