please someone tell me what is causing this error and how can i fix it thanks very much :)

You need to escape the single quotes.

It's being caused by Cobreloa - O'Higgins. Try escaping with backslashes like Cobreloa - O\'Higgins. You should be sanatizing your data before inserting it into your database, which includes add backslashes. An example, css-tricks.com has an example function for doing this, which I'm sure is fine to use.

Thank you for your fast replying but i doesn't quite get it i need just the first one right ? And can i use it like this example ?

$tip1 = htmlentities($_POST['tip1']);

$asd = sanitize($tip1);

cleanInput($asd);
