Had one, two weeks ago, of another type, but still in the family:

I needed to work on an upgrade and had to be on the production server. When I do this, I generally make a duplicate copy of the relevant pages (this is html/php/sql/javascript) and suffix the file-name with "_X".

So, I created HR_PTO_Request_X.php and started at it. (PTO is 'Paid Time Off' and this is HR's version for specialized access). The call comes in from HR, some days later, that the page is a mess and not showing the correct names.

So, looking into it I realize that when I created the original version of this, it was cloned from the employee version, but, as its capabilities were extended, I suffixed it with _X.

Mea elephanting culpa

Fortunately, a copy of the original was very handy. I also changed my suffixing convention to "_vN", and will serialize N.
