char set error on new server.

Hi,

I recently moved server company and installed the script on my new server, however I am getting the following error returned during search queries:

Warning: htmlentities() [function.htmlentities]: charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in /home/mysite/public_html/search.php on line 95

Any ideas what might be happening ?

Hi,

Is "ANSI_X3.4-1968" what you have setup in config.php?

Normally, it is empty:

$config_charset = "";

However, if PHP is for some reason defaulting the htmlentities() function to ANSI_X3.4-1968 (whatever that is!!) then I would force it to use either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 (as it chose as the default), for example:

$config_charset = "iso-8859-1";

That should at least stop the error; however I'm not sure why it is happening in the first place, but it does seem to be a common PHP issue (nothing to do with Price Tapestry):

Thanx David,

That fixed the error. I don;t know why it is happening with PHP now, I can only imagine it must be compiled differently on this server or using a different version from my last server.

The server was all setup for me as it is fully managed, so I never actually compiled anything myself, but this fixes it anyway. I don't if it is a fix or a plaster over a wound, but I guess we'll find out. :)
