CHtml::encode() - Invalid multibyte sequence in argument

Hi,

I am trying to save some HTML data to my database.

Unfortunately my ckeditor creates HTML-entities, which is no problem itself, but when I try to show my record I get this error:


Description

htmlspecialchars() [<a href='function.htmlspecialchars'>function.htmlspecialchars</a>]: Invalid multibyte sequence in argument

I found this related bug in PHP:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47993

This error appears only in my production server with PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch15.

While my DevBox (OS X, PHP 5.2.9) is running fine.

Any ideas other than not using HTML-entites in my editor?

Upgrading PHP on the Server?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
