when i write < or > it always comes out _

[baud]

hi

i ve installed several oscommerce shops and so far this is the first time ive come across this

 

problem is that when i write < or > in the product description, it always comes out an underscore

this means that i can not use any html tags

the problem happens in both english and greek which my shop runs

 

 

i have used

ultimate seo urls

cDynamic_Meta_Tags v1.5.3

and tinymce editor

 

(which i have used in all my oscommerce installations and work fine)

 

BUT

 

i have removed all these in the specific installation (i think) both the database entries and pages but it still does that.

 

I can only edit the product description from php my admin

 

Any ideas?

 

tnx tnx tnx

It could be your tep_db_prepare_input() function.

Check admin/includes/functions/database.php. The function should be

 function tep_db_prepare_input($string) {
   if (is_string($string)) {
     return trim(stripslashes($string));
   } elseif (is_array($string)) {
     reset($string);
     while (list($key, $value) = each($string)) {
       $string[$key] = tep_db_prepare_input($value);
     }
     return $string;
   } else {
     return $string;
   }
 }
