PHP5 - PHP 5.4.0 Illegal String offset warning
Well I upgraded to PHP 5.4 and my vbulletin forum is showing this warning.
Quote: | Warning: Illegal string offset 'do' in [path]/includes/functions_online.php on line 458 |
I was wondering though, is there a way to suppress illegal string offset warning in PHP 5.4? Just curious.

As far as I can tell, vBulletin doesn't support PHP 5.4.

Yeah I know of that, I have been trying to fix the incompatibilities. I was able to resolve the ampersand symbol error, the forum actually works pretty well right now. I do not get any fatal errors, just some annoying warnings like this one.

If you're willing to fix code then try the form
PHP Code:
$string[is_string($string) ? intval($offset) : $offset]
(because I have to assume that under some conditions $string is actually an array)
If $offset is a hardcoded string then you can do away with the intval() and simply
PHP Code:
$string[is_string($string) ? 0 : "do"]

This is where the warning message is generated, so yeah the variable is an array. The $userinfo['values']['do'] is what causing the problem. Interestingly, the warning message is only generated when an online user is viewing PM box.
PHP Code:
case 'pm':
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['private_messaging'];
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['wolpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_wolpermissions['canwhosonlinefull'])
{
if ($seeuserid)
{
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="member.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "u=$seeuserid\">$wol_user[$seeuserid]</a>";
}
if ($userinfo['values']['do'] == 'newpm' OR $userinfo['values']['do'] == 'insertpm' OR $userinfo['values']['do'] == 'newmessage')
{
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['creating_private_message'];
}
else if ($userinfo['values']['do'] == 'editfolders' OR $userinfo['action']['do'] == 'updatefolders')
{
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['modifying_private_message_folders'];
}
else if ($userinfo['values']['do'] == 'trackpm' OR $userinfo['values']['do'] == 'deletepmreceipt')
{
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['tracking_private_messages'];
}
else if ($userinfo['values']['do'] == 'showpm')
{
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['viewing_private_message'];
}
else if ($userinfo['values']['do'] == 'downloadpm')
{
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['downloading_private_messages'];
}
}
break;

The code clearly expects $userinfo['values'] to be an array but apparently isn't in that case. So what is its value?

I am not quite sure, but it seems to me that it is null. Weird though...

I think it's a bug in that code and must read $userinfo['values']['do'] == 'updatefolders' instead of $userinfo['action']['do'] == 'updatefolders'
