this most likely belongs in the bug submission area, but I'm posting it here so people can easily find the fix,


>>> SCENARIO <<<

Deleting a record from a table that uses the name "key" as the name of the key column.


>>> THE ERROR <<<

MySQL error 1064
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 'key = 0)' at line 1


>>> THE FIX <<<

version: phpMyEdit.class.php,v 1.204
function: do_delete_record()
line: 2777-2778
CHANGE:

$query = 'DELETE FROM '.$this->tb.' WHERE ('.$this->key.' = '
.$this->key_delim.$this->rec.$this->key_delim.')'; // )

TO:

$query = 'DELETE FROM '.$this->sd.$this->tb.$this->ed.' WHERE ('.$this->sd.$this->key.$this->ed.' = '
.$this->key_delim.$this->rec.$this->key_delim.')'; // )


>>> DETAILS <<<

It was trying to execute:
DELETE FROM vehicles WHERE (key = 0)

but MySQL got all excited about using the name "key" as the column name, sooo just do what the SELECT statement was doing in the same function and have it changed to:
DELETE FROM 'vehicles' WHERE ('key' = 0)

and that's what the above fix does, it just mimics what the SELECT statement was doing (perhaps it was just overlooked at the time it was written?)

Perhaps the developers would prefer to code it another way, but that worked for me, and that's all I have time to be concerned with.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 81 bytes) in /home/platon/public_html/platon.sk/lib2/mantis/core/config_api.php on line 22

my work is done here

ah, I didn't check. I just knew that 5.6 did the same thing and 5.7.1 did the same thing... so, i just fixed it.


The same fix is required on the WHERE query for do_change_record() on line 2725.

hm, after this i noticed that the documentation advised against using the "key" name (for those building the tables). oh well, it seems like it'd be good programming to just fix it though. maybe someone with CVS write privileges wants to verify it's globally fixed ;-). Those were the only 2 places I located a problem. it'll add/change/delete/copy everywhere else.
