Hi Salvatore,

Yes, it's those double-byte or unicode characters that cause the error.

Could you please edit the file DirectPHP again and add the following to line 81:

Code:

$str = str_replace(chr(hexdec('C2')).chr(hexdec('A0')), '', $str);

so that it looks like:

Code:

function fix_str2($str) { $str = str_replace('<br>', "\n", $str); $str = str_replace('<br />', "\n", $str); $str = str_replace('<p>', "\n", $str); $str = str_replace('</p>', "\n", $str); $str = str_replace('&#39;', "'", $str); $str = str_replace('&quot;', '"', $str); $str = str_replace('&lt;', '<', $str); $str = str_replace('&gt;', '>', $str); $str = str_replace('&amp;', '&', $str); $str = str_replace('&nbsp;', ' ', $str); $str = str_replace('&#160;', "\t", $str); $str = str_replace(chr(hexdec('C2')).chr(hexdec('A0')), '', $str); return $str; }

Let me know if it works...

Hi Salvatore,

I've just added the code above to DirectPHP. You can download the latest copy from:

http://www.kksou.com/php-gtk2/Joomla/DirectPHP-plugin.php

I think the new version should be able to remove those double-byte or unicode characters, which I believe is added to your content by your editor for some unknown reason. I'm using Joomla English version. I think you are using a non-English version. Hence the additional double-byte or unicode characters. Try pumping this into a PHP eval() statement. It's these characters that cause the error.

Hi Kksou, very good job indeed!
Now it works perfectly. I'll try to use it to read a database with result of a survay made, on a different website, using Facile Forms on joomla 1.0. Did you already update also jommla 1.0 version? Thank you again for your fast intervention, ON SUNDAY! :-D
Have a nice week!.
Salvo

Hi Salvatore,

Glad it works!

Yes, have updated both the 1.0 and 1.5 version.

Hey Thank You!!! Direct PHP is AWESOME!!!

I was having a simular problem and this post help me figure it out. I was getting the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in PATH...\DirectPHP.php(56) : eval()'d code on line 1

I echo out the code mentioned above "echo "phpcode2 = ".htmlentities($phpcode2)."<br>";"

And this is what I was getting
phpcode2 = <BR>session_start(); <BR>$session =& JFactory::getSession(); $fname = $session->get('fname',$_GET["fname"]); $session->set('fname', $fname); $session =& JFactory::getSession(); $lname = $session->get('lname',$_GET["lname"]); $session->set('lname', $lname);


I remember learning that session_start(); should be called before anything else so I took out the line brakes <BR> and that fixed the problem.

So this was my code in the WISSYWIG
<?php
session_start();
$session =& JFactory::getSession();
$fname = $session->get('fname',$_GET["fname"]);
$session->set('fname', $fname);
$session =& JFactory::getSession();
$lname = $session->get('lname',$_GET["lname"]);
$session->set('lname', $lname);
?>

I change it to...
<?php session_start(); $session =& JFactory::getSession(); $fname = $session->get('fname',$_GET["fname"]); $session->set('fname', $fname); $session =& JFactory::getSession(); $lname = $session->get('lname',$_GET["lname"]); $session->set('lname', $lname);?>

Probelm Fixed.
