    SQL Error, probably invalid username

    How could I fix this please?


    Invalid SQL:
    SELECT * FROM TOGjos_users
    WHERE LOWER(username)='twin_76er's'
    LIMIT 1;

    MySQL Error : 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 's'
    LIMIT 1' at line 2
    Error Number : 1064

    Classname : vb_database

    SQL Syntax errors are almost always related to modified code. To troubleshoot this, the first thing you need to do is remove any hacks or plugins, then see if you still have this problem.

    If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

    Next, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

      Looks like this might be related to vBridge for joomla/mambo, as joomla and mambo have bad handling of single quotes in usernames.
