customers cannot login

[anntaj]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a shop and the latest error to get in my way is

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_sanitize_string() in catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 132

The error turns up if you try to login in as both a new or returning customer, clicking on advanced search in quick find box also presents the same error. However in the advanced search, a page does display with the error at the bottom of the page.

I think the error refers to this bit of code, but I have no idea what it is on about

function tep_db_prepare_input($string) {
if (is_string($string)) {
return trim(tep_sanitize_string(stripslashes($string)));
} elseif (is_array($string)) {
reset($string);
while (list($key, $value) = each($string)) {
$string[$key] = tep_db_prepare_input($value);
}
return $string;
} else {
return $string;
}
}

would anyone please know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

it means the function tep_sanitize_string() is not present in your system. Either it is there but broken (in which case you'd probably have more errors) or it is missing. Look in includes/functions/general and see if it's there (should be line 56-ish), if not then paste in the following:

  function tep_sanitize_string($string) {
    $string = ereg_replace(' +', ' ', trim($string));

    return preg_replace("/[<>]/", '_', $string);
  }

Of course it's possible that if that one's missing, you may have more mising and fixing that error could mean you have a few more to fix too.
