I'm getting an error in my hourly cron run:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: check_plain() in
/home/wadsworth/www/jeaun.com/includes/xmlrpc.inc on line 67


It appears that the new version of xmlrpc.inc in drupal 4.5.5 contains
a call to the check_plain function, which I believe only exists in
drupal 4.6. I'm guessing that those function calls should be changed to
drupal_specialchars, since the two functions appear to be doing
essentially the same thing.


I've attached a patch that switches the function calls.


I can't seem to upload the patch (although it's easy enough to make
manually,) so here it is:


67c67
<       return '<string>'. check_plain($xmlrpc_value->data)
.'</string>';
---
>       return '<string>'. drupal_specialchars($xmlrpc_value->data)
.'</string>';
80c80
<         $return .= "  <member><name>". check_plain($name)
."</name><value>";
---
>         $return .= "  <member><name>". drupal_specialchars($name)
."</name><value>";

Okay, so the patch was uploaded. The preview function wasn't working for
some reason, so I couldn't see that it was already there.
