cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()

I've searched and searched, and can't quite find what the problem may be.  I just installed Simple:Press 4.3.3 on a WP3.01 installation.  Everything seemed fine, all was green.  When i created my first group, I get the following error through simple-press (multiple entries upon creation of the group, and then they fade away):

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in <domain_reference>/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/library/sf-filters.php on line 172

I did find another older post on the forum about having PHP4, but my host is running PHP5:

 

[~]# php -v
PHP 5.2.13 (cgi-fcgi) (built: May 12 2010 15:50:50)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
    with Zend Optimizer v3.3.9, Copyright (c) 1998-2009, by Zend Technologies
[~]#

 

Not being a technical wizard, I'm really not sure where to begin other than google and this site.  So far, I haven't found anything… can anyone provide some direction, help, or suggestions?  I would assume that this probably occurs quite often, as it has happened after installing Simple:Press on two different WP installations.  I'm using BlueHost.com as my domain hosting provider.  I'm hoping this is something simple that I just overlooked, but I can't find any reference on any site.

 

Thank you for any insight/assistance,

David

its a php issue, as you have surmised…  though I thought it only affected php 4… and you say you have php 5…  I cannot find any reference on the net to this occurring in php 5…  I would also do a phpinfo() on your server (instead of php -v) to make sure you are actually using php 5 on the server as other things (such as .htaccess) can override the php version used…

and it does not occur often…  we have had only a couple reports, both on php 4 installs…

but not sure why you are showing php warnings like that on your server… for production sites, shouldnt be doing that…

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm not sure I'm doing this right, but I typed in php info>php-info.txt at the command line via ssh, and I received this output.  it just looks like CSS stuff, but I can't really make sense of it– it does say phpinfo() in the <title> tags.  Does this provide any useful information?  I'm quite clueless on this and don't know where to begin.

 

Thank you so much for the help.

my point was dont due it via the command line… you can get different results vs doing it from the actual web server…

create a small file that has this in it

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

then upload it to your server and point your browser to the file…  dont leave the file laying around on the server…

Sorry Mr. Papa.  Obviously, I'm not famliar with PHP and it's characteristics.  I'll do so as soon as I can budget the time. 

 

Thank you again very much for your kind assistance,

You can also go to forum admin > Toolbox > Environment.

But Steve is correct – this is not an error associated wth php 5 in out experience but it IS a genuine php error.
