htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

OsCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2

Issue: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

 

Description:

While in the admin panel, (in admin/orders.php) orders show as line items fine

although when you click on the edit button, invoice button or packing slip button I receive the following:

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/content/X/X/X/XXXXXXXXXXX/html/store/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 40

 

general.php line #40:

function tep_parse_input_field_data($data, $parse) {

 

The correct information for the customer, bill to, & ship to etc.. is present below the 'error(s)' as well as their correct order details.

 

This error does not appear anywhere else (that I've seen)in the program.

 

I have read numerous posts regarding 'Warning: htmlspecialchars()' and tried some with no luck.

 

For 2 days now I've tinkered with it off & on and I'm a bit mystified.

 

Anything specific would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have the same problem but mine is on line 42.

Have no idea how to fix it either.

Hi Fiona,

Looks like this one we won't get an answer on. BUT, I'm hopeful.

Hi Fiona,

 

I fixed this (at least for me)

 

in: admin/includes/functions/general.php (and our line numbers may be a bit different due to some other modifications I've made)

 

find:

 

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

40 if ($protected == true) {

41 return htmlspecialchars($string);

42 } else {

43 if ($translate == false) {

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

45 } else {

46 return tep_parse_input_field_data($string, $translate);

47 }

48 }

49 }

 

I changed line 40 to this:

40 if ($protected == false) {

 

Changed the true to false and it cured it.

 

I hope this helps you too.
