[pmwiki-users] Cookbook Recipe Attachtable problem

I have started a fresh install on 000webhost with pmwiki-2.2.99.


I'll start setting up a new one from scratch to see what I can find. I'll post what I find.


I wasn't listing any audio files, the only ones I had so far where a couple of image files.


Thanks,

Monte

You don't mention your PmWiki version and your PHP version. I assume you
installed the latest PmWiki version.

These symptoms suggest an older PmWiki installation, and/or an older
recipe that calls the function "htmlspecialchars" directly, while the
text contains what PHP considers invalid bytes. See:

   http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Troubleshooting#blank_sections

PmWiki | PmWiki / Troubleshooting<http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Troubleshooting#blank_sections>
www.pmwiki.org
PmWiki is pretty robust and can automatically adapt to a very wide variety of environments. However, sometimes things don't go as we expect, so we're cataloging ...




Attachtable doesn't appear to call this function but the file
getid3.lib.php calls "htmlentities" 3 times and it may also suffer from
the bug - I suspect it may happen if you list audio/video files whose
metadata has a different charset than the wiki.

It could be another recipe or a skin. To check it, disable all recipes
then test the wiki: if the bug persists, it could be a PmWiki bug and
I'd be very interested to test and review that installation and fix the
bug. Re-enable one recipe at a time and check the wiki for the bug: at
some point it will re-appear and you'll know the recipe you just enabled
is the culprit. There may be more than one -- we can fix them all.
