Deprecated function error (short description)

    Hi,

    I’ve noticed that my monitoring tool is flagging a deprecated function in use:

    wc-product-table-lite/templates/short_description.php?(Line:?30): Mb_convert_encoding(): handling html entities via mbstring is deprecated; use htmlspecialchars, htmlentities, or mb_encode_numericentity/mb_decode_numericentity instead

    This issue also appears when I work in debug mode. Will there be an update to address this in a future version?

    Thanks, Thomas

    Fyi, meanwhile I had a look at the code, this solves the error:

    // complete unclosed tags in $content

if(

??? defined( 'LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION' ) &&

??? version_compare( LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION, '2.7.0', '>' )

){

??? $_errors = libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

??? $dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');

??? $convmap = array(0x80, 0xffff, 0, 0xffff);

??? $content_encoded = mb_encode_numericentity('<div>' . $content . '</div>', $convmap, 'UTF-8');

??? $dom->loadHTML($content_encoded, LIBXML_HTML_NOIMPLIED | LIBXML_HTML_NODEFDTD);

??? $_content = '';

??? foreach ($dom->documentElement->childNodes as $child) {

??????? $_content .= $dom->saveHTML($child);

??? }

??? $content = $_content;???

??? libxml_use_internal_errors($_errors);

}
