I try to create forum wich name contains international characters (iso8859-2) like "ő" or "ű" but htmlspecialchars modify #&337; to #&337;.
Have any idea to prevent this situation?

Hello,

This was what i do first. I create new theme, with new charset. This not solution. I checked page is iso8859-2, but from imput form
"ő" still &#337 and if i remove htmlspecialchars() from fud_user_add() frm_name the database source contains &#337 but any html may insert to forum name.
Removing htmlspecialchars() not problematic because on descr not htmlspecialchars()-ed default. (can brake the page completly also)

What is your opinion htmlspecialchars() on frm_name removable?

How does fud_user_add() relate to the addition of forums?

Also, how are you creating your forum, via FUDAPI or via the admin control panel?

The reason description allows HTML input is to give the admin freedom to put ANY desired information like banners and so on for the forum.

The name on the otherhand is used in many places aside from the front page, like select boxes and so on, which is why it is filtered through htmlspecialchars().

Is your default theme using iso8859-2, if not that's probably the issue.

Oh. default theme.
Yes, but now inserted characters seems to not iso8859-2 (not o" but o~). I completly don't understand this now.

Ok, let me ask you this:

1) When the default theme was using english theme and the name was encoded, how did it present a problem?

2) Did the letters appear incorrectly on the admin control and the forum pages or just on one of them?
