utf8_decode in modules.inc.php (processDatalog)?

[dar_ek]

Please tell me for what is utf8_decode() in function processDatalog() from lib/classes/modules.inc.php in that code?

//** encode data to utf-8 and unserialize it
if(!$data = unserialize(stripslashes($d['data']))) {
$data = unserialize($d['data']);
}
//** Decode data back to locale
foreach($data['old'] as $key => $val) {
$data['old'][$key] = utf8_decode($val);
}
foreach($data['new'] as $key => $val) {
$data['new'][$key] = utf8_decode($val);
}

Two times, one for "multiserver setup" and one for "single server setup".

I'm asking this because "utf8_decode" here damages all locale character set.
Eg. in autoresponder text. Also in "multiserver setup" section this breaking all locale characters (UTF-8) in replication from master database.

(In my case POLISH characterset).

I've just reviewed the code again, it might indeed be that the lines can be removed now, we had some code there that encoded everything to utf-8 to solve serialization problems, but that code has been removed, so that the decode part might be removed as well.

Thanks for quick answer.

I'll test it, and sing you in case of problems.
