Error msg mysql...please HELP!

Hi! Please help! Im stuck with mysql...Its my firt time dealing with mysql and coding.:confused
I have to create guestbook my connection works fine! I had to create table in mysql database, I have done that. But when I type in comments on my web site they are not transfering to my data base Im getting error mesage:


Error
SQL query:

`autoid``name``email``comment``date_auto` EXPLAIN SELECT *
FROM `guestbook`

MySQL said:

#1064 - 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 '`autoid``name``email``comment``date_auto`EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM `guestbook`' at line 1

Could you help me please?

 

`autoid``name``email``comment``date_auto` EXPLAIN SELECT *
FROM `guestbook`

I'm not quite sure what that means but you might want to try just running

select * from guestbook for the query

or

select autoid, name, email, comment, date_auto from guestbook

assuming those are all valid field names

can you dump the table description and post it?

describe <tablename> will do it
