How can I write SQL for a table that shares the same name as a protected keyword in MySql? [duplicate]

Order is a reserved word. Don’t use reserved words as table or field names; or wrap it in the escape characters such as ` for mysql. Personally I just avoid using them as they generally cause more headache than they are worth in the long run.

Example:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `order` WHERE orderID = 102;");
