phpns: "call to undefined function" in shownews.php

Asked by Trent36

I get the

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: htmlspecialchars_decode() in /vservers/ugprotective/htdocs/phpns/shownews.php on line 114

But for what you see is [shownews.php] not [function.php] like other suggestions

I have recently used the workaround for the login mentioned in the suggestions so it may be that I just can't use this on the server I am using but I sure would like to.

Thanks for any help.

Trent,

The shownews.php file DOES NOT use /inc/function.php (for efficiency
reasons). You will need to plug this code at the top of your
shownews.php:

function htmlspecialchars_decode($str) {
    return strtr($str,
array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS)));
}

Keep in mind, once you upgrade your server to PHP5, this will caused a
"function already defined" error. You can just delete the code snippet
at that point.

Can you help with this problem?
