Hi,

Ran into a problem while copying tables containing reserved names as field names.
Fixed it by adding four back ticks to de destination query:

Changed:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table (" . implode(", ", array_keys($row)) . ") VALUES ('" . implode("', '", array_values($row)) . "')", $destination);

To:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table (`" . implode("`, `", array_keys($row)) . "`) VALUES ('" . implode("', '", array_values($row)) . "')", $destination);

above program will worked only older version of PHP <5.4

use "mysqli" for latest PHP versions.

can this be updated for new php 7.3
