Warning: htmlspecialchars() error

[warrenthewindmill]

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/domains/wargamestore.com/user/htdocs/includes/functions/general.php on line 42

Line 42 says:

return htmlspecialchars ($string)

I replaced with

echo($string)

to see what was being returned and it displays:

firstnamelastnameline1ofaddressline2ofaddresscityofcustomerpostcodeArray

,

Don't know what Array is at the end of this string? Firstname, lastname etc are the details I created the test account with but the Array then all the spaces and the , really has me beat.
I searched and found a similar problem to do with country processing and I notice I do not show country anywhere on my site after the account is created.
Any ideas?

It would help if you gave us some background on the mod you did to create the error. Thanks!

I had installed:
http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.p...=64545&hl=
but was unable to get it working, so I replaced the modded files with my backup versions.

I won't mention the name here but after wrestling with this for 2 days I decided to try a certain well known brand of file comparison software. I ran it against a backup from about 7 days ago. Problem solved! I don't know how it happened but there was a difference in general.php line 265 which should have been:

return $country_array['countries_name'];

but which in my later file was:

return $country_array['my_country'];

I've checked through the code for the above mod and can find nothing that suggests this change so I cannot figure how I came to do this, but I must have. I won't ever be without file comparison software again.

I have this same error, is there a fix for it yet?
