Anything wrong with this?

$query2 = mysql_query
("INSERT INTO `school_inspirations`.`student_reg`
(`fname`,`lname`,`initials`,`nationality`,`dob`,`g ender`,`join_date`,`line1`,`area1`,`city`,`state`, `country`,`email_id`,`school`,`board`,`username`)
VALUES
(`$fname`,`$lname`,`$initials`,`$nationality`,`$do b`,`$gender`,`$join_date`,`$line1`,`$area1`,`$city `,`$state`,`$country`,`$email_id`,`$school`,`$boar d`,`$uname`)") or die (mysql_error());


the first name which was entered using a textbox is Shankar, and when i submit the form its giving the error as

Unknown column 'Shankar' in 'field list'

Means the column "fname" doesn't exist in the table.
