Did you install a mod recently? If not, I suspect that your host has added something called mod security, and has misconfigured it. Ask them to disable it for your account

That got it fixed.  My host asked me to pass this along. "Using your IP address I was able to find the rule you are tripping. OWASP 950901 SQL Injection Attack: SQL Tautology Detected. I have disabled this rule. You might pass on the rule name to the support people you were in contact with so that they can fix their code. "
thank you for your help!

Your issue is caused by mod security. It is recommended to disable mod security when using SMF.

Apparently, that specific rule is known for producing false positives.

So, as I noted, your host has/had things misconfigured and there is nothing that we really need to fix, since our script is not doing anything incorrectly.
