What's wrong with this SELECT Statement? - mysql

Question

I'm getting this error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near '' JOIN `shirts_link` ON `shirts_link`.`shirt_id`=`shirts`.`id`
JOIN `shirt_sizes' at line 1
I've been combing over it for nearly a half an hour now and can't figure it out. Can someone please point it out to me? Here's the code.
SELECT
`shirts`.`shirt_name`,
`shirts`.`men` AS `main_photo`,
GROUP_CONCAT ( `shirt_sizes`.`size_name` ) AS `sizes`
FROM
`shirts`
JOIN
`shirts_link` ON `shirts_link`.`shirt_id`=`shirts`.`id`
JOIN
`shirt_sizes` ON `shirt_sizes`.`id`=`shirts_link`.`size_id`
JOIN
`shirt_prices` ON `shirt_prices`.`id`=`shirts_link`.`price_id`
WHERE `men`!=''
GROUP BY
`shirt_prices`.`price_cat`
In case the problem goes deeper than this script, here's the other tables I'm trying to tie together.

Answer 1

Where clause belongs after the entire from clause, meaning after all the joins.

Answer 2

You have this WHERE clause in the wrong place:
WHERE `men`!=''
Move it in front of your GROUP BY clause.
UPDATE: Here is a reformatted version of your query:
SELECT `shirts`.`shirt_name`
, `shirts`.`men` AS `main_photo`
, GROUP_CONCAT ( `shirt_sizes`.`size_name` ) AS `sizes`
FROM `shirts`
JOIN `shirts_link`
ON `shirts_link`.`shirt_id`=`shirts`.`id`
JOIN `shirt_sizes`
ON `shirt_sizes`.`id`=`shirts_link`.`size_id`
JOIN `shirt_prices`
ON `shirt_prices`.`id`=`shirts_link`.`price_id'
WHERE `men` != ''
GROUP BY `shirt_prices`.`price_cat`
