company name in order confirmation

[andyshep]

hi all.

 

When a customer fills out a new account form and their company name is somthing like A&Another services

then make an order. in the confirmation email the company name is A&Another services.

 

Any ideas where i can correct this?

 

Cheers all, Andy.

did you modify the create_account.php page in any way? check the database for all your customers, see what the fields look like.

checked the database and in there it shows as & not &

 

so its obviously using htmlspecialchars() or similar to display it in the email.

 

so it must be somewhere in the script that sends the order confirmation email.

 

which is ?????

Did you find out why & is converted to &_amp; (without the underscore) in the confirmation email?

you could set the e-mail to be html, so it would still display correctly. That might be most simple

I found the answer for the non-html emails:

 

checkout_process.php, replace this:

tep_address_label($customer_id, $sendto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n";

 

with this:

tep_decode_specialchars(tep_address_label($customer_id, $sendto, 0, '', "\n")) . "\n";

 

and replace this:

tep_address_label($customer_id, $billto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n\n";

 

with this:

tep_decode_specialchars(tep_address_label($customer_id, $billto, 0, '', "\n")) . "\n\n";

 

Backup first.
