It looks to me like the \n (linefeed) character is actually being
turned into a line-feed character, because you've quoted the $sql
variable with " " - hence it's gone and turned \t into a tab, \n into
a line-feed, etc. I may be wrong, but I don't think MySQL likes this,
and given the error you are receiving it looks like that might be the
case. Quote it with ' ' to avoid translation of the \n and \t.
Best regards,
Richard Davey
