So I have today come across an odd situation - my client has SS 3.3.2 with user defined forms installed. I don't think the problem is userforms related however. What has happened is on one of the forms in a text area (frontend), someone has entered their comments, and part of the comment included the phrase:

week(

They kept get errors trying to submit the form and after a lot of testing the content that they were trying to enter, I have come to the conclusion that as WEEK() is a mysql function this is causing the errors.

Has anyone else encountered something similar? What did you do to fix it?
