Create a List of Categories?

  • I am trying to put a list of categories into my index.php
    I inserted the following tag
    <?php the_category() ?>
    into the spot where I want the list to show, uploaded and then got the following error where the tag was inserted.
    SQL/DB 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 3]
    SELECT category_id, cat_name, category_nicename, category_description FROM wp_categories, wp_post2cat WHERE wp_post2cat.category_id = cat_ID AND wp_post2cat.post_id =
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/fetal/public_html/wp-includes/template-functions.php on line 1368
    Is that tag the correct one to make a list of category links happen?
    In the template-functions.php is it supposed to be category_”nicename” or is that a typo? I replaced all “nicemame” occurrances with “nickname” but still got the error.
    Any thoughts or solutions?
    Thanks

    Please ignore my post above.
    I found that I was using the incorrect tag. The correct tag for a list of categories is:
    <?php list_cats() ?>
