Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode error

[hisnibbs]

Have just setup the eStore plugin. and put my first product in the store for testing. I then created a products page and added the following code:

iClue – Apple apps code signing simplified

Checkout in one click

[wp_eStore_buy_now:product_id:1:end]

Or add to shopping cart and continue shopping

[wp_eStore_fancy:product_id:1:end]

If I then go look at the product page I get this error repeated about 100 times down the page

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home2/stuartmo/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/eStore_misc_functions.php on line 535

and then the product and the instant checkout buy it now button.

If I remove the “fancy” bit of the product tag I get no such error.

I am running PHP5 and have WordPress 3.0 which is upto date.

Any Ideas please?

OK turns out my host had installed PHP5 but to prevent broken installs for people who have plugins and isntalls which use PHP4 so it has to be specifically invoked with the .htaccess file using the following two lines added to the domain root .htaccess file:

so add:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

And upload the .htaccess file to your server.

NOTE: back up the .htacess file on your server first rename it old.htaccess or something like that, then upload new one, then if something goes wrong it’s an eays fix.

CHECK WITH YOUR HOSTS FIRST.

Don’t make changes unlkess you are certain you can undo them, I’m not repsonsible for broken installs just telling you for info only. But many hosts are doing this this way.
