[Openaaq-discuss] bug in /a/editstaff.pl

[Alex P. <ap...@te...>]

I just attempted to add a staff member and found a bug in /a/editstaff.pl at
line 286. There was a call to a depreciated method of finding out what an
automatically inserted key field value was. The line should read:

$staff_key = $vr_dbh->{"mysql_insertid"} ;

The old function was $dbh->func("_InsertID"). This is completely wrong for MySQL
version 3.23.56, which my test setup is running, and caused warning messages in
some older versions.
