Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string,

[rabbitseffort]

So I notice some customers at times get this during checkout where addresses should be, maybe someone here knows why, this started happening when I rebuilt this site, and imported customers from one database to the new database avout 6 months ago--it doesn't seem to cause too much trouble, but it also doesn't bring the address info in with the order, so we have to go to our old database to get the customers info there--thankfully we saved that database info!

 

the error is:

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/mindzeye/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/general.php on line 62

 

and the code it refers to is :(lines 60-70)

function tep_output_string($string, $translate = false, $protected = false) {
if ($protected == true) {
  return htmlspecialchars($string);
} else {
  if ($translate == false) {
	return tep_parse_input_field_data($string, array('"' => '"'));
  } else {
	return tep_parse_input_field_data($string, $translate);
  }
}
 }

 

Thanks for any assistance!
