Broken Keywords Upon Generation Very Weird

Hi All,

I have a problem with the keyword generation and a very weird one. It seems that all words which contain the character 'p' , that is p as in Portal get broken when inserted in the keywords meta. For example if I use the word "metacarpooling" in either the title or the description (it doesn't matter if it's the main page or a forum/topic page), the keyword would be broken down to two smaller ones without 'p' - > "metacar" and "ooling".
This happens right off the bat when I install phpbb SEO - full installation. This also happens with cyrillic keywords when I use the 'р' character- my website is dual language. I don't think it's the language pack, because it's an old stable one and never had problems with it before.

I also tried a brand new phpbb SEO installation without enabling the SEO mod, or installing the GYM mod - nothing else installed besides the one extra language pack and it does this right of the bat.
( works ok with normal phpBB installation).

Any help would be sincerely appreciated!

That is a really strange problem, and sounds to me like a collation issue in your database. I use utf8-general-ci and have never encountered anything like that before.

Generally, when I run into a help topic I don't understand or don't know the answer to, I try to leave it unanswered so someone else can see that someone needs help. As there are only a couple of us running around answering questions, I don't want anyone else to see my name as last response on this thread and assume that the problem is solved or being solved.

That is why I don't always answer posts, even when I see them.

Does that mean that I shouldn't be expecting any answer at all. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure it's a Premod package glitch, rather than something in the original phpBB script. All tables/database run on UTF-8 general ci ... So frustrated, the whole site is useless because of this...

Still waiting for an answer, somebody, please!

Could you please copy and paste the following code into a text file, rename it to bom_check.php, upload it to your phpBB directory and then start it with http://www.yourdomain.com/bom_check.php or http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/bom_check.php - What's the result?
