You saved the original code right? Go to that file and look at line 42 if you cant figure it out post the code someone will help.

 

IMPORTANT:SAVE AND BACKUP

Already tried that, but the error is still showing.

 

What file may else be corrupted??

[badass]

I copied the original file, confirmation_checkout.php

I copied the original file, general.php

 

But no change.

[badass]

hello?

[badass]

[Guest]

im having this problem too, anyone an idea whats causing it?

 

This is the error

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/****/public_html/includes/functions/general.php on line 42

 

Here is a snippet of code, from line 35 onwards, line 42 is marked.

// Parse the data used in the html tags to ensure the tags will not break

  function tep_parse_input_field_data($data, $parse) {

    return strtr(trim($data), $parse);

  }

 

  function tep_output_string($string, $translate = false, $protected = false) {

    if ($protected == true) {

      return htmlspecialchars($string);  //THIS IS LINE 42

    } else {

      if ($translate == false) {

        return tep_parse_input_field_data($string, array('"' => '"'));

      } else {

        return tep_parse_input_field_data($string, $translate);

      }

    }

  }

Nobody here seems to know any sollution..

I just fixed this without actually fixing it, which is weird.

 

Basically since signing up as a customer (test account) with my address based in the UK, I set the store to only allow customers from Australia. When I changed my address to an AUS one, the error dissapeared, which was just weird.

[badass]

well, it just worked for me to.. very weird..

 

But thanks man! B)

I am getting that as well. In my case, it is in shopping_cart.php as I am using the shipping estimator. Nothing was done to cause this - it simply appeared out of the blue. :(

It's not the contribution. I've got the problem as well and I'm not using that contribution.

Not very encouraging to know that even an osC developer doesn't know the answer... *YIKES* :unsure:

My site is setup to only accept customer from the UK. In fact, I've done away with the country pull-down menu completely and it has UK statically inserted. I've created a test account after that mod and it worked like a charm. Creating an account still isn't a problem. However when I try and buy something on every page during checkout the address is listed perfectly both in shipping and billing, exept for the order_confirmation page. Then the htmlspecialchars error pops up instead of the addresses that displayed perfectly on the previous pages. But since I've only got one country I don't see how your solution could help me though... :(
