php error dump

SchedConfSetupStep1Form stores everything in database except Principal Contact's Affiliation (under section 1.3 on /index.php/epns/2011/manager/schedConfSetup/1).

"contactAffiliation" field of the scheduled conference is being parsed as an array, instead as a string, resulting in PHP error while "escaping" the array value (when tested with MySQL, mysql_real_escape_string() fails).

CAUSE:
- "contactAffiliation" field is not being processed as a localized settings option.

PATCH:
in: ocs/classes/manager/form/schedConfSetup/SchedConfSetupStep1Form.inc.php
line: 65
- return array('introduction', 'overview', 'emailSignature', 'sponsorNote', 'contributorNote');
+ return array('introduction', 'overview', 'contactAffiliation', 'emailSignature', 'sponsorNote', 'contributorNote');
