Unexpected T_STRING in PHP

Question

I get an error in my PHP script. Someone please kindly help me fix it. Thank you.

$sql="SELECT username, description, website FROM members WHERE City="NY" order by username";

If you have double quotes inside a double quoted string, you need to escape them (`\"`).... or use single quotes (`'`) around your `NY` — Mark Baker, Mar 25 '15 at 12:42
use this $sql="SELECT username, description, website FROM members WHERE City='NY' order by username"; — Navneet Garg, Mar 25 '15 at 12:50

Escape the inner quotes:

$sql="SELECT username, description, website FROM members WHERE City=\"NY\" order by username";
