Thread

Doing some looking around and it appears to be a CI issue: Bitbucket bug report, but thought I’d post here too as it appears to be affecting ExpressionEngine here on my local install.

Running MAMP, PHP Version 5.3.5 - any post data is returned as null if any special chars are used.

To replicate publish a new entry in EE, with the title set as “wäre”. The entry is not accepted and user is notified “The Title field is required.”

I noticed this whilst building a module and $this->EE->input->post() was returning NULL if any special/foreign chars were used.

Thought I’d post here before filing a bug as it appears to be logged on BitBucket, but would appreciate if there was a hot-fix other than rolling back a PHP version…

Thanks, Iain. I’ll mention this to the dev team. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hiya,

in the attached archive there’s a phpinfo and a php.ini, running a pretty vanilla MAMP setup Version (1.9.5)

Cheers!

Thanks for the additional info. The dev team have a link to this particular thread..

Having similar problem running ee2.1.3 and Mamp Pro 1.9.6.1

If any special characters are entered into a custom field (€, ‘’ etc) it causes the entire contents of the field to drop.

Hi goodmixer,

Are you also running PHP 5.3.5 in Mamp Pro 1.9.6.1? Are you getting any error message like Iain?

Cheers

Greg

Greg,

Running PHP 5.3.5 in MAMP Pro. I had not got error message as I had not put special chars in a required field. Quick test shows that a € symbol in title throws up same error as Iain.

Issue not present when PHP Version is rolled back to 5.2.17

Hi, goodmixer. Yes, I can replicate the issue as well on PHP 5.3.5 MAMP. I’m mentioning this to the dev team to see what they have to say about it.
