Re: Invalid multibyte sequence error
The only one that was truly similar was the July 09 post, where the guy found he had a space at the end of his product name - which really doesn't even make sense since
htmlentities($some_string . " ", ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
works fine.That Software Guy. My Store: Zen Cart Support

Re: Invalid multibyte sequence error
What specific problems are you encountering? How are you triggering this problem? How did you come up with that list of line numbers?

Re: Invalid multibyte sequence error
Those line numbers were in logs in the cache directory.
I am not certain they are correlated with specific problems but we're having issues with the cart not emptying following orders and I'm trying to figure out if there's a connection.That Software Guy. My Store: Zen Cart Support

Re: Invalid multibyte sequence error
I've not tested it, but you might get around those errors by substituting CHARSET (no quotes) for the 'UTF-8' (with quotes) references in those lines of code, so that it uses your site's defined CHARSET instead of forcing UTF-8.
Doubtful that it has much direct correlation to carts not emptying after payment, since those lines of code deal with preparing payment transaction submissions *before* payment is collected, not after..

Re: Invalid multibyte sequence error
Zencart 1.3.9h similar error message. I had a lot of products with extraneous spaces in them. Hoping the following SQL fixes the problem.
UPDATE `cart1_products_description` SET `products_name` = TRIM(`products_name`);
UPDATE `cart1_products_description` SET `products_name` = REPLACE( `products_name`, " ", " " );
This has been going on for a bit on my cart.. but doesn't seem to be affecting orders.
