I have a mod created by Qualiteam that uses the file JsHttpRequest.php. I googled the file and found it is an open source, cross-browser AJAX library with AJAX file uploading support. I have noticed I get constant errors logged with the following log entry

Warning: mb_convert_encoding() [<a href='function.mb-convert-encoding'>function.mb-convert-encoding</a>]: Illegal character encoding specified in http://mysite/include/JsHttpRequest.php on line 458

I never noticed the errors until I started paying attention to the error logs. The error does not appear to affect the functionality of the drop down selectors that utilize this file, but it certainly fills an error log in a hurry.

I went to the library's home site (http://en.dklab.ru/lib/JsHttpRequest/) where I downloaded the latest library, replaced the file, and still get the same error.

I would like to get the error fixed, and am not opposed to going to Qualiteam for help, but would like to take the path of least resistance. I would be willing to pay someone for help, or would gladly take any pointers from anyone who may be familiar with the situation.

Thanks

Hey Tim, I looked one more time on this issue for you and it seems you are not the only one experiencing something like this.

"mb-convert-encoding" is a PHP function - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php

Also this one talks about it - http://gallery.menalto.com/node/30054

I think the function in your case would be this one from JsHttpRequest.php

    function _unicodeConv($fromEnc, $toEnc, $v)
    {
        if ($this->_unicodeConvMethod == 'iconv') {
            return iconv($fromEnc, $toEnc, $v);
        } 
        return mb_convert_encoding($v, $toEnc, $fromEnc);
    }

And maybe if you replace it with this will make the error disappear (or I can do it for you)

    function _unicodeConv($fromEnc, $toEnc, $v)
    {
        if ($this->_unicodeConvMethod == 'iconv') {
            return iconv($fromEnc, $toEnc, $v);
        } 
        if ($fromEnc == NULL) {
   return mb_convert_encoding($v, $toEnc);
  } else {
   return mb_convert_encoding($v, $toEnc, $fromEnc);
  }
    }

Steve,

You are brilliant. I read the posts on several sites last night and just never figured out what I needed to update, finally updated to the most recent file release, all with no luck. Your recommendation seems to have worked - I have not been able to replicate the error since updating the file.

I will keep trying (and hoping I cannot get the error) but for now it looks like you did it. Add this one to the long list of favors you've done for me and my future bill.

I can't help but add, if anyone who reads this has not had the pleasure of working with Steve at CFL then you are missing out. This is one more example of how Steve goes out of his way to help, and makes my life of running a store much easier. The best developer I could have ever hoped to find.

Thanks so much.
