Sending mail with attachment not possible

[beni]

Hello!
Whenever i compose a mail (be it fresh or be it a forwarded one), i am unable to send or even store it as draft.
Prior applying the patch from ticket #1486343 i got a session logout.
After applying the patch, nothing happens if i store the message as draft. If i send the mail, i get the error message: "[An internal error occured. Please try again.]"

The error log contains (thats the error from the patch from #1486343):
"[21-Dec-2009 16:00:47 +0100]: \$a_oldvars is no longer an array! Recreating array. It was previously:"

The PHP error log file is empty.

This may be corelated to ticket #1486324.

Just to be complete: im on svn trunk revision 3185.

Do you use suhosin? Disable it. Also, database encoding must be utf8.

[beni]

Database encoding is UTF8.
I use suhosin, yes. What exactly needs to be disabled? session encryption?

[alec]

Yes, session encryption.

[beni]

I disabled suhosin with the following php.ini settings:

[suhosin] suhosin.session.encrypt = Off

no change.

Even disabling the entire suhosin
using "suhosin.simulation=On"
does not work.

(i also cleared the RC database cache and messages tables, for a test, but does not help)

[beni]

OK, news: it works for most attachments now.
However, the attachment i tested with has Umlauts in its name. Trying to store or send this fails like described in the original post.

Again. Make sure your database and session table uses UTF8. MySQL? SHOW CREATE TABLE session.

[beni]

I Solved that problem too.
While the update script updated all tables to be UTF8, some fields in some tables remained ASCII. After i changed all tables collations and reset all fields encoding, everything works fine.

Thanks for your support!
