general.php error

[paq1200]

I am getting the following error but I dont know what it is from.

How do I find out what is causing the error?

 

In the log file the following error is shown:

[28-Feb-2008 07:41:27] PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/functions/general.php on line 47

 

when I go to includes/functions/general.php and look at line 47 it has the following:

return htmlspecialchars($string);

 

below is the complete code block:

 

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

41 function tep_parse_input_field_data($data, $parse) {

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

43 }

44

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

46 if ($protected == true) {

47 return htmlspecialchars($string);

48 } else {

49 if ($translate == false) {

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

51 } else {

52 return tep_parse_input_field_data($string, $translate);

53 }

54 }

55 }

56

57 function tep_output_string_protected($string) {

58 return tep_output_string($string, false, true);

59 }

60

61 function tep_sanitize_string($string) {

62 $string = ereg_replace(' +', ' ', trim($string));

63

64 return preg_replace("/[<>]/", '_', $string);

65 }

 

 

 

Any help with this is appreciated. I am a new to php and not sure how to correct it or even find out why it is happening.
