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 'WHERE uid='13'' at line 1

Welcome here!

It means that you have a error in your sql-syntax right before the where clause. If you need more helpfull comments, then you need to give us a bit more info, like for instance the sql-statement

Or add this right after the line with your sql_statement.
die ($select);

(assuming that $select is your sql-statement. So your code would then look like
$select="select ... where uid=13";
die ($select);

And then reload the page in your browser and look at the printed sql-statement (or post it here)

Note: uid isprobably a numerical column, so you don't need to enclose the values for it in quotes.
