I *Believe* this is a bug. If not, just tell me.

If you create a form with the field name of "language" or "lang" then it won't store your input, rather it will store the user's language to the database.

For example, if I create a Select Box with the field name of "language" with the following inputs:
English=English
French=French

Then I store the result to the database, my browser's locale will be stored instead: "en_US" or "en" for lang.

If you change the field name (and database column) to another name like "lang_selection" then it works fine.

Hi lowrykun,

It probably is a bug - or at least an untrapped error. I've not seen it before and don't know where the value gets substituted, possibly lang=xx in the form URL would do it.

It's always safer to avoid commonly used Joomla!, PHP or MySQL terms as you can get unexected results.
