Processing an order ........ disaster!

[pure-dvd.com]

When an order is processed the error message below appears rather than a pre-input billing address?????

 

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/virtual/site162/fst/var/www/html/store/includes/functions/general.php on line 42

 

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/virtual/site162/fst/var/www/html/store/includes/functions/general.php on line 42

 

The code reads:

 

////
// Parse the data used in the html tags to ensure the tags will not break
function tep_parse_input_field_data($data, $parse) {
  return strtr(trim($data), $parse);
}

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);
    }
  }
}

ANY help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated!! Maybe check it against your program to see the difference? Preventing alot of business at the moment :angry:

ours is the same:

 

////
// Parse the data used in the html tags to ensure the tags will not break
?function tep_parse_input_field_data($data, $parse) {
? ?return strtr(trim($data), $parse);
?}

?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);
? ? ?}
? ?}
?}

 

what is the reference to htmlspecialchars() ?

Thanks very much for that, as far as the 'reference to htmlspecialchars()', I'm totally lost!!?

 

I have gone through the whole process using test details & this happens every time. As you say, yours is exactly the same, now I'm even more confused, I was expecting an obvious error!!

 

Any more advice from anybody would be great!

Here's a thread that had same problem and solved it because the default shipping address for accounts was not being set properly. I'm not sure if this will fix it for you though.

Also they mention that the Purchase with account contribution allowed blank lines for shipping address and that caused problems from time to time in the function htmlspecialchars.

 

Maybe this will help???

This problem can be caused by a field such as 'entry_country_id' in the address_book table being invalid or empty.
