[pmwiki-users] Cookbook Recipe Attachtable problem

[Petko Yotov]

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

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.
