The problem is still there even after I replaced those 3 files. Any suggestion?
Thank you.

Thank you.

You say the problem is still there. Please identify how it is possible to reproduce the issue now that the patched files have been installed?

v155a under construction: http://angelcorp.net/test/index.php?...products_id=88
The 4th line from above, next to 'Model:' shows ' '

v150 live site: http://angelcorp.net/infant-formula/...products_id=88
The 4th line from above, next to 'Model:' follows a space.

The admin backend input are identical ( ). Same database actually (upgraded with v155a).
Thank you.

In your development site, if you manually update the record, does the   stay as it should or does it change still?

I re-input the value. The bug still hassle. Thank you anyway.

Will these files work in 1.5.6c? It looks like they are only good through 1.5.5f.

I am getting the conversion of & to &...running on XAMPP v3.2.4, PHP 7.3.15, most recent version of windows 10 64 bit.

I don't have a live site to show you at this time so I'll give you as much as I can to narrow down the issue.

My custom admin template is based on the Zencart admin/Configuration page.

A sub page of this is my backup program and one of it's options is to select which category to back up.

There are radio button selects in the right hand box for each top level category in my catalog...Health & Beauty being one of them.

When I select Health & Beauty, it returns Health & Beauty in the value column and screws up my script for backing up this category.

Yes, I can rename it to Health Beauty but prefer Health & Beauty.

I tried using html_decode in my script but the rest of the script failed even though the html_decode did change the category name correctly.

Thanks for your help.

Commenting this out in AdminRequestSanitizer.php makes the problem go away but I don't fully understand the impact of leaving this commented out.

    public function setDoStrictSanitization($doStrictSanitize)
    {
        /*$this->doStrictSanitization = $doStrictSanitize;*/
    } 

[mikeel100]

...or this in init_sanitze.php

//$sanitizer->setDoStrictSanitization(DO_STRICT_SANITIZATION);
