Why do I get a SQL error when preparing a statement in mysqli?

I recreated your schema and inserted two rows using your query, one from the MySQL command line and the other from PhpMyAdmin. Screenshot is here: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2cz4nxz&s=5. Your query seems to be valid so the problem lies elsewhere (probably in your PHP code).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
