Took a while to figure out what was going on for one of our clients, we finally tracked it down to this PHP warning that was happening:

templates_c\1e269201f7338d87d6d69f0011b7a4d1dbf0e305.geo_tset.admin.admin.validating_login.tpl.php htmlspecialchars() expects at most 3 parameters, 4 given

Looking at both plugins/modifiercompiler.escape.php and plugins/modifier.escape.php from latest version, both result in call to htmlspecialchars() with 4 parameters. According to php.net, the 4th parameter double_encode was not added until PHP 5.2.3.

And it doesn't just "ignore" the 4th parameter, having 4 parameters actually results in a warning being thrown, and htmlspecialchars() returns an empty string which is obviously not good.

So, either need to build in some sort of PHP "version checking" and make it not use the 4th parameter (at the expense of being able to use double encoding prevention). OR somewhere on the site, need to mention this PHP 5.2.3 requirement.

Unless I'm just missing something, the only mention of PHP requirements is on the download page where it says "Smarty 3.x: PHP 5.2+" under requirements, giving the impression that it should work with PHP 5.2.0 and up when that is not the case.
