   Hi there,
   I',m sorry but i got no idea on how to solve this message:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: htmlspecialchars_decode() in /home/.kairo/XXX.COM/wp-includes/comment-template.php on line 821

   Should i get back to 2.6? Or can anyone give an idea on how i can solve this? :)

   thanks!

   Hi Whooami,
   its an upgrade via SVN and its giving me this problem since yesterday at night.

   ok, well so we are sure that we are both looking at the same thing. My line 821 in wp-includes/comment-template.php

   reads:

   elseif ( file_exists( TEMPLATEPATH . $file ) )

   whats yours read?

   My beta3 was grabbed from here though, and not the svn

   on mine it says:
   $comments = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = %d AND ( comment_approved = '1' OR ( comment_author = %s AND comment_author_email = %s AND comment_approved = '0' ) ) ORDER BY comment_date", $post->ID, htmlspecialchars_decode($comment_author, ENT_QUOTES), $comment_author_email));

   hmm, let me make sure I have the right file ... I do.

   ok, hang on, I grabbed your copy out of the svn.

   ok, I can tell you how to fix that. htmlspecialchars_decode is specific to PHP 5. I assume you are using PHP 4?

    I should check... because dreamhost used to have latest versions on almost everything

    Most hosts give you the option which version to use.

    This issue will be fixed in the next nightly build, according to Ryan Boren. I guess somebody can mark it resolved?
