[solved] problem with creating users after upgrade

Upgrade seemed to work fine, but when I try to create a new user I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function quoted_printable() in /var/www/manager/processors/save_user.processor.php on line 477

It creates the user but doesn’t send out the password via email.

update: works fine if you set it to show password on screen, but gives error when set to email password

Jeremy,
Could you please share some system information? Server OS, PHP version?
Thanks

PHP 5.2.6-5 (with the Suhosin Patch 0.9.6.2)
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian)
MySQL 5.0.51a

That particular version of MySQL is notoriously problematic and has been discussed probably hundreds of times in the forums over the last year, give or take. Can you try to upgrade or downgrade it to see if you have the same issue.

I suspect that the Suhosin patch may be causing function_exists(’quoted_printable’) on line 442 to return true.
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.function-exists.php#77980

Since you’re using the patch, and not the extension, you’re not able to specify
suhosin.executor.func.whitelist
in php.ini

Would you be able to do a test in Suhosin’s simulation mode? (Maybe not, again because it’s the patch.)
http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/configuration.html#suhosin.simulation

Do your Suhosin logs tell you anything?

It would be possible to "fix" this for you by removing that function_exists call on line 442, wrapping the actual quoted_printable() function, but I fear that we could end up with "function already declared" errors if a MODx plugin is installed and also has a quoted_printable() function.

Everything looks correct, except I now have an odd looking homepage in the manager
has a bunch of text that looks like this :
��������This resource fork intentionally left blank �����������

I’ll attach a screenshot
EDIT: crap, this is in the wrong section.. can an admin move it?

Jeremy: Attached is a new version of manager/processors/save_user.processor.php
I’m fairly confident that the error you’re seeing will go away.
Please respond to the bug report in Jira with any further problems related to this:

Thanks netProphET, that solved it.

Cheers netProphET, that solved it for me too.
