Internal Server Error

Jongens zodra ik mijn Select verander:

<?php
$auction = $_POST['auction'];

mysql_connect(*****,******,******);
mysql_select_db(db_3382_mitchel);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM 'imc_auction' where 'auction#' = $auction";
$result=mysql_query($query);


echo " <table border='1'>
<tr>
<TD><h3>Auction#</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>Service Tag</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>Type</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>CD/DVD - Rom</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>Ram</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>HDD Size</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>CPU</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>Start Price</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>Buyer</h3></TD>
<TD><h3>Bought for €</h3></TD>
</TR>

";

while($test = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{
echo " <tr>
<td>".$test['auction#']."</td>
<td>".$test['service_tag']."</td>
<td>".$test['type']."</td>
<td>".$test['cd']."</td>
<td>".$test['ram']."</td>
<td>".$test['hdd']."</td>
<td>".$test['cpu']."</td>
<td>".$test['start']."</td>
<td>".$test['buyer']."</td>
<td>".$test['bought']."</td>
</tr>
";
}
echo "</table>";



?>

Zoals hier boven. Krijg ik een Internal Server Error.

Als ik zeg:

<?
$sql = "SELECT * FROM 'imc_auction';

?>

Niks aan de hand.
Maar zodra ik where gebruik.... gaat het al fout :(

HELP!? :-)
