I can get the Chinese interface via browser accept-language but not via user preference. The preference issue can wait. When my gallery switch to Chinese because of my accept-language has zh-tw, the heading generated by albums.php is broken.

I hexedit the generated web page and found that several links are wrong. The character before the "a" tag is 0xA0 instead of 0x20. As a result, the < character of the tag is treated as part of a double byte character, and the tag is rendered as text. In other words, I am reading:

?a id="popuplink_1" target="Edit" href='http://..

on the screen.

Go to alexfung.info/gallery (with zh-tw as your first language) for a look. Logon as id:guest, pwd:guest. The bug only appears when the user has authority to create new albums. The link after "new album" is broken.

Also, notice the "?" at then end of the "Welcome, Guest?".

To summary, logon as guest/guest to alexfung.info/gallery with zh-tw and you can see:

1)"Welcome, Guest?" with a "?"
2) link to new album is ok
3) link to user preference is broken
4) link to logout is ok

Even stranger, when logon as admin,
1)"Welcome, Adminstrator?" with a "?"
2) link to docs is ok
3) link to new album is broken
4) link to manage user is broken
5) link to user preference is ok
6) link to logout is ok

what a pattern.

Hi,

- With Browser do you use ?
- Whats your Server OS ?
- Can you give us an URL to your Gallery and to a phpinfo file ?

this is provided by my hosting provider, should be the same environment with the server I am on (they have a dozen servers but should be identical). If you want a phpinfo from my domain, pls let me know.

Did you log in as "guest"? What I see is (note the "?" and several a tags become "visible"):

AHHH,

i test too much with NS
There it works.

In IE i see what you mean.

It seems some quotes are missing.
I will look in the code and solve this.

Hi,

i was not able to reproduce it here..
So i copied your HTML Output.
After "Guest" are some chars which causes the error.

But they are not from Gallery ...

Is this with every username ?

Yes. Every username who can add albums. I saved the web page I am viewing, and hexedit the saved file. I find some 0xA0 just before the "a" tags.

I created another user:
id: "g2"
pwd: "g22" (because gallery doesn't like 2-char pwd)
same results (as long as I have zh-tw listed first).
http://alexfung.info/gallery

The same also happens on another gallery I created on the same server.

Do you want the admin account or copy of some config files?

No, I keep on seeing gibberish. I've tried XP and ME. ME is English ME. XP is English XP with default language set to Traditional Chinese.

Do you want me to send you a screen capture? It is a 32K GIF

I saw the behaviour some days ago on your server.

I copied the html output and found those strange chars.

I have really no idea (

You mean the same doesn't happen on other servers? Is it a problem of my hosting provider or his linux?

I fixed it myself, although I don't understand why it happened in the first place.

I downloaded the album.php in binary mode. I found several occurance of 0xa0. I changed them to 0x20. Now it works fine.

In the orignal tar, there is no such 0xa0. I don't know whether it was created when I untar it on the server, or during config.
