why this error?

[itandme]

I am trying to execute this command on the phpmyadmin:

CREATE TABLE guilds (

id INT( 4 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR,
shard VARCHAR,
abrev VARCHAR,
charter TEXT,
location VARCHAR,
website VARCHAR,
uosite VARCHAR,
email VARCHAR,
password CHAR( 7 ) ,
rp TINYTEXT( 1 ) ,
pk TINYTEXT( 1 ) ,
pvp TINYTEXT( 1 ) ,
faction TINYTEXT( 1 ) ,
alignment CHAR( 4 ) ,
waring CHAR( 10 )
)

But it keeps giving me this error, whatever I do:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' shard VARCHAR, abrev VARCHAR, charter TEXT, location VARCHAR, website' at line 1

Ehh? What the heck is that supposed to mean?

You got a problem with your definition for the second field. If using a field as varchar, you need to declare the length of the field, for example varchar(30) for 30 letters!

Ah! I thought that was only need to be done with CHAR..

Stupid. Thanks!
