Help with this SELECT statement

Code:

SELECT `default_blog`.*, `default_blog_categories`.`title` AS `category_title`,
`default_blog_categories`.`slug` AS `category_slug`, SUM(IF(comments.is_active = 1, `1 0))`
`total_comments`, `default_users`.`username`, `default_profiles`.`display_name` FROM `default_blog`
LEFT JOIN `default_blog_categories` ON `default_blog`.`category_id` = `default_blog_categories`.`id`
LEFT JOIN `default_comments` ON `default_comments`.`entry_id` = `default_blog`.`id` LEFT JOIN
`default_profiles` ON `default_profiles`.`user_id` = `default_blog`.`author_id` LEFT JOIN `default_users` ON
`default_blog`.`author_id` = `default_users`.`id` WHERE `status` = ‘live’ AND `default_blog`.`created_on` <=
1413476587 ORDER BY `created_on` DESC LIMIT 100

But the correct SELECT (at least free of syntax errors) is this:

Code:

SELECT `default_blog`.*, `default_blog_categories`.`title` AS `category_title`,
`default_blog_categories`.`slug` AS `category_slug`, SUM(IF(comments.is_active = 1, 1, 0)),
`total_comments`, `default_users`.`username`, `default_profiles`.`display_name` FROM `default_blog`
LEFT JOIN `default_blog_categories` ON `default_blog`.`category_id` = `default_blog_categories`.`id`
LEFT JOIN `default_comments` ON `default_comments`.`entry_id` = `default_blog`.`id` LEFT JOIN
`default_profiles` ON `default_profiles`.`user_id` = `default_blog`.`author_id` LEFT JOIN `default_users` ON
`default_blog`.`author_id` = `default_users`.`id` WHERE `status` = ‘live’ AND `default_blog`.`created_on` <=
1413476587 ORDER BY `created_on` DESC LIMIT 100

What is the difference? The difference is here

Code:

SUM(IF(comments.is_active = 1, `1 0))` `total_comments`,

That part should be

Code:

SUM(IF(comments.is_active = 1, 1, 0)), `total_comments`,

I hope this helps.

Yes, you got it and see exactly what I see. But that's actually, my question, what is wrong with the codeigniter query? That's what I don't understand
