PHP Error - cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()

I have a whole lot of this error showing up in my server logs:

Code: Select all

PHP Warning:  cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /var/www/vhosts/tlt.com/httpdocs/serendipity/include/functions_trackbacks.inc.php on line 552
I searched here for anyone else with the same problem, but I couldn't find any.

Is this a bug, of something wrong with my install? I'm using Serendipity 1.3 and PHP 4.3.11. Thanks.

Hi!

This error can happen if someone sents (supposedly spam) trackbacks to your blogs with characters, that PHP cannot decode. You could silence this error by placing an "@" in front of html_entity_decode inside the mentioned file/line....

HTH,
