Content management PHP Problem

Asked by Farouk007 in PHP and Databases, PHP Scripting Language, MySQL

I am a beginner at PHP coding and I would appreciate any help that is offered. I am trying to build a Content Management System for my website. I have made a mysql database, "Add Contentent Page" and "View Content Page". They all work wonderfully. I can Add and view my information with no problems.  Now I am buildng a Admin page where I can Edit and Delete the content. When I try this page I get a "You have an error in your SQL syntax near " at line 1.

I know what is causing this error but have no idea why it is happening. I have 5 fields in my Table = ID, projectname, Dateinput, status and content. When I call echo $projectname the date will come up, when I call echo $id the projectname will come up. Any help given is much appreciated.
