Issues with UTF8 characters

[tlock]

This byte string was making the adodb logger to fail and bim marking to fail on find student :-

'A' (65) 's' (115) 's' (115) 'i' (105) 'g' (103) 'n' (110) 'm' (109) 'e' (101) 'n' (110) 't' (116) 's' (115) '�' (226) '�' (128) '�' (153)

function bim_clean_content( $content ) {

• chr(153),

Sorry Tim. I'm struggling to understand this one.

As far as I know, bim_clean_content only gets called when processing the RSS, which is before bim marking. And, I'm not sure what the fix is.

Sorry for being thick.

The fix is to replace chr(153) ($badchr) with nothing you have done with other characters like chr(226) and chr(128). Looking back at this I think I need to add an entry for coresponding $goodchr array to replace array key 16 (17th) with ''

Thanks Tim. Adding this now.
