Select clause

I am attempting to select first and last name from MySQL database newemail
using the code below.

<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$Fname = $_POST['Fname'];

echo "The passed value is $name $Fname\n";


$query = "SELECT emailadd from newemail where name, Fname = '$emailadd'";



and I get an error message.


Error Message:

The passed value is bixby bruce SELECT emailadd from newemail where name,
Fname = ''
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 ' Fname = ''' at
line 1

Can anyone help? TIA

Why tell us this? You don't use either in your query.

$emailadd is undefined.

The query is total nonsense. You have sent "SELECT emailadd from newemail
where name, Fname = ''" to mysql.

That is correct.

where name, Fname =

is invalid syntax. Where name what?
