Dreamweaver with PHP error
Posted by simonw on Wed 9 May 2007 at 15:45
Error:
"While executing onChange in ServerObject-InsRecPHP.htm a Javascript error occurred."
Tracked to a database column in MySQL with the name "length".
Took too much time to find it, and searching was less productive than expected.
I can't image how having a column called length causes Dreamweaver a problem ;)

It's a reserved word.

I saw that in one place, but it is not listed here;

Besides even if it were reserved, I'd still be able to use it with appropriate quoting within MySQL.

That is a Javascript reserved word, I'm writing MySQL and PHP.
Anything not coping with valid MySQL and PHP is due to bugs in the Dreamwaver extensions. It is only incidental to my purposes that Dreamweaver happens to have some extensions written in Javascript.
They are presumably incorrectly handling the data somewhere - which I assume is probably an exploitable bug in their code. But life is too short to sniff down the bugs in proprietary software products.
