Im getting this error:

<br />
<b>Parse error</b>:  syntax error, unexpected 'listings' (T_STRING) in 
<b>C:\xampp\htdocs\android_connect\get_venues.php</b> on line 
<b>30</b>
<br />

Here is the corresponding PHP line:

$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM listings WHERE Venue_ID IN (SELECT Venue_ID FROM venues WHERE Venue_Name = $VenueName AND Region = $Region) AND Event_ID IN (SELECT Event_ID FROM events WHERE Event_Name = $VenueName AND Category = $Category);

Can anyone work out where im going wrong?

Thanks in advance

You forgot to wrap your string in quotes:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM listings WHERE Venue_ID IN (SELECT Venue_ID FROM venues WHERE Venue_Name = $VenueName AND Region = $Region) AND Event_ID IN (SELECT Event_ID FROM events WHERE Event_Name = $VenueName AND Category = $Category");
