cannot handle content type: text/html; charset=utf-8

what would cause this error when a form is being submitted?

What does your form action tag look like? Have you included this directive:

Code:
enctype="multipart/form-data: charset=utf-8 "

What type of webserver are you using? Has it been configured to accept UTF-8?

Are you intending to even support this character set? If not, then perhaps the user is submitting (erroneously?) a character code that you're not expecting.

It's complicated, but at essence is that the form is submitting data in a character encoding that your web server isn't configured to support.
