"You have an error in your SQL syntax"

[PokémonS]

Hi,

I got an unusual error in my SMF 1.1.13. When I posting with a "Quick Reply" feature, I got a "Connection has timed out" in my Firefox. Then I push enter the .../index.php?action=post2;. Then I got this messages:

Database 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 '' at line 1
File: /home/pokemons/public_html/forum/Sources/Post.php
Line: 1353

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.13, while your database is at version 1.1.11. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

Then, I entered the index forum. It's still normally viewed by me and my visitors. But I want to know, what's the problem?

Pls reply thanks..

You may wish to place your forum in maintenance mode, and then to turn on SQL debugging to find out what the bad SQL statement is.

According to the message, your database is outdated. It might be best if you upgraded to 1.1.14

Upgrading SMF

Also, do you have any modifications installed that might modify Post.php?

Usually the best place to start is the actual error, and not the DB version message. So I would follow AngelinaBelle's advice there first...
