This bug really kicked my behind something major. I kept getting 500 errors and I could not figure out why. So I sat there and dissected my coode and realized that

Code:
<h6>News and Updates</h6>


was the cause of my headache. No matter what format if the word "update" is inside those tags it will give me this error. I spent days trying to figure this out because it gave no error message. I checked the editor code in Joomla and noticed that the JPlugin has a function called update and it is being used by ALL the editors. Turning the editor to "None" didn't even work.

This is a tricky one! Just say "News and Events" (lol).

Is this text in an article, an article title... where exactly are you using "update" or "updates"? I've got the word updates littered throughout my site as both article titles and text and haven't seen any issues.

Well it's hard for me to believe that a text string and not a variable or something like, can cause such an error!

The text is inside the article text. But its the word "update" that causes the problem. I'm certain of it.

I know its the strangest thing. It doesn't happen on my mac (php 5.3.6) it only happens on the live server (php 5.2.1). I'm assuming since the versions of php and the php.ini development and production settings are different the server catches the issue.

I could debug it but I just don't have the time to pinpoint the issue. It makes sense because all of the editors try to strip and interpret the code inside of the text box to some degree but i just thought it was the html tags but it appears that they also look inside the tags as well. This does not happen unless the word "update" is inside a tag.

PHP 5.2 4 is the minimum required for 1.7

I have the same problem on Joomla 1.5.15. It also throw an error on the word "select". Although not consistently, only in certain articles. And to make it more interesting, if you can't use select in the article you can use update and visa versa.
Did upgrading help? I found posts on this going back from version 1.0. Also I am getting a different error with update and select it is:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Same issue as tnissen above. Use of the word 'select' in an article throws the same internal server error. Using 1.5.23 with JCE editor. Anyone have a work around? Is Joomla addressing this?

If you encounter problems like these, please update first to the most recent version.
With every new version, bugs have been solved.
The latest version for 1.5 is Joomla 1.5.25

This is happening to me too! I have latest version of Joomla 2.5.x and the words 'update' and now also 'select' in the text of an article gets the internal server error . SO I went to a 1.6 site and the same thing with the word select. This is so weird. Has anyone figured this out? Its real :)

Running:

Joomla! 2.5.3 Stable [ Ember ] 15-March-2012 14:00 GMT
PHP Version 5.3.3

I have Joomla installed on a different server and I can use the word 'select' without any issue. It has something to do with the settings on the server itself, not Joomla.

I just need to track down what setting on the server / php config is causing this error.

This problem is usually caused by mod_security settings on your server blocking out database commands like select, from, update, insert, which, etc. Your webhost admin should be able to help you with this...

If not, wordpress users have had some success with adding this to their main htaccess. I think this disables mod security and I'm not sure of the consequences of doing so.

Code:
<IfModule mod_env.c>
    SetEnv MODSEC_ENABLE Off
    PassEnv MODSEC_ENABLE
</IfModule>
