[PHP Illegal string offset, this is so simple it should work]

The error probably means that $site_info is a string and not an array.

Yep, and maybe it was my fault googling but I find couldn't anything as simple as that answer.

If I would have looked at the two places I used this function instead of just one this post would have never happened.

[PHP Illegal string offset, this is so simple it should work]

Thank God you guys don't know me, you'd drive to my house and beat the .. out of me.

I used the function mentioned above in two places, one for mobile and one for other. In the function used for mobile I used an array value, function($site_info['home']) as the input instead of the array causing the string offset.

Sorry for the oversight and thank you for your input.

Once again, sorry.

also this h4 code is in a function join_us_non_mem ($site_info) {}

 

so index.php includes config.php at top then it uses the function above is echo info. the <h4>

At this stage of your development process, why do you need your own custom error handler?

 

Show us how and WHERE you turn on error handling?

1. It lets me know if something is wrong by email

2. my_error_handler() is always on, it prints info locally and emails errors when online from error_log($message, 1, $webmaster_email); // Send email.

 

 

As a note I went here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15361392/how-do-i-correct-this-illegal-string-offset and used var_dump($site_info) like they instructed and got this.

for local but all that changes online is the string aka paths

 

array(20) {["home"]=> string(31) "http://localhost/ab-01.0102" ["https_home"]=> string(31) "http://localhost/ab-01.0102" ["debug"]=> bool(true) ["ip_admin"]=> string(9) "127.0.0.1"};

 

And I used print_r($site_info) and got this

Array ([home] => http://localhost/ab-01.0102 [https_home] => http://localhost/ab-01.0102 [folder] => /ab-01.0102 [debug] => 1 [ip_admin] => 127.0.0.1 )

Alas.....

 

Is the block of code in the first section in php mode?  It is not apparent.

 

And how is the block of code in the second related to the first?  We don't know What could be going on in between!

 

How are "config file" (?) and "index file"(?) related?  Are they actually files?  If so what are their names?  Are they calling each other or are they included in the same file of some other name?

 

You are not making this easy!

 

1. Yes the block of code in the first section is inside php tags it is in the config.inc.php file

2. The second block is in the /index.php which includes config.inc.php

3. config.inc.php is included at the beginning of /index.php. directly.

4. Sorry, I'm trying

 

 

 

Also as a note, my error_log shows NO errors.

I'm getting error notifications by email from this function in the config.inc.php file which is included at the top of every page

function my_error_handler($e_number, $e_message, $e_file, $e_line, $e_vars) {

	global $debug, $webmaster_email;

	$user_ip = strip_tags($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

	if($debug) {$br = '<br />';} else {$br = false;}

	// Build the error message.
	$message = "Coding error message \nSub Dictionary: ".htmlentities(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), ENT_QUOTES)."";
	$message .= "\nfile: ".htmlentities(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), ENT_QUOTES)."";
	$message .= "\npath: ".htmlentities($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], ENT_QUOTES)."\n";

	$message .= "\nAn error occurred in script '$e_file' on line $e_line: \n$br $e_message\n$br";
	$message .= "\nFrom an ip at http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/$user_ip";



date_default_timezone_set ('US/Eastern');

	// Add the date and time.
	$message .= "\nDate/Time: " . date('n-j-Y H:i:s') . "\n";

	if ($debug) { // Show the error and if local
	// added to show a more detailed message when get an error from google bot 140218
	$message = $message .= "$br<pre style=\"background-color: white;\">" . print_r ($e_vars, 1) . "</pre>\n$br";
	// Append $e_vars to the $message.
	//	$message2 = $message .= "$br<pre style=\"background-color: white;\">" . print_r ($e_vars, 1) . "</pre>\n$br";
		echo '<p style="background-color: white; color: black;">' . $message . '</p>';
	} else {

		// Log the error:
		error_log($message, 1, $webmaster_email); // Send email.
		
		// Only print an error message if the error isn't a notice or strict.
		if ( ($e_number != E_NOTICE) && ($e_number < 2048)) {
			$php_db_error = '<p class="error">A system error occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.</p>';
		}

	} // End of $debug IF.

} // End of my_error_handler()

// Use my error handler:
if (!$local) {
set_error_handler ('my_error_handler');
}

[PHP Illegal string offset, this is so simple it should work]

// In config file
if($local) {
/* if it's local */
$site_info['home'] = 'http://localhost/subfolder';
$site_info['https_home'] = 'http://localhost/subfolder';
$site_info['debug'] = TRUE; // its true on local
$site_info['ip_admin'] = '**.**.**';
$site_info['https_home'] = 'http://localhost/';
} else {
/* when online array values are */
$site_info['home'] = 'http://mywebsite'; // used only on index page and left column menu
$site_info['https_home'] = 'https://www.mywebsite.com'; /* used everywhere else */
$site_info['debug'] = FALSE; // don't debug inline
$site_info['ip_admin'] = '**.**.**';
$site_info['https_home'] = 'https://www.mywebsite.com';
}

The error is in this line at mysite.com/index.php this page is http, that's where the error is coming from

$site_info['https_home'] is on the index page and referrers to the $_GET file in the link below

// In index file
<h4 class="text-center"><?php  echo '<a href="'.$site_info['https_home'].'/ab-member/index.php?action=register">Join us!</a>'; ?></h4>

[PHP Illegal string offset, this is so simple it should work]

Nope

[PHP Illegal string offset, this is so simple it should work]

The actual path is on the actual php

 

<h4 class="text-center"><?php  echo '<a href="'.$site_info['https_home'].'/ab-member/index.php?action=register">Join us!</a>'; ?></h4>

 

also talking about the things taken out that Guru referred to as a vague reproduction were stuff like

if($local) {

$site_info['local'] = TRUE; //  or true
$site_info['home'] = 'http://localhose/subfolder';
$site_info['debug'] = TRUE; // its true on local
$site_info['ip_admin'] = '**.**.**';

} else {

$site_info['local'] = FALSE; //  or true
$site_info['home'] = 'http://mywebsite';

$site_info['https_home'] = 'https://www.mywebsite.com';

$site_info['debug'] = FALSE; // its true on local
$site_info['ip_admin'] = '**.**.**';

}

[PHP Illegal string offset, this is so simple it should work]

The h4 is the line the the error reports

I took some things out for brevity ie
$site_info['local'] = FALSE; //  or true
$site_info['home'] = 'http://mywebsite.com';
$site_info['debug'] = FALSE; // its true on local
$site_info['ip_admin'] = '**.**.**';

$site_info['css_path'] = http://www.mywebsite.com

 

and yes the if statement is in the html

and I am using /subfolder/index.php?action=.... . Not /?action=register

 

Also I use this for my css path

if on the /index page it uses $site_info['css_path'] = http://www.mywebsite.com

and it doesn't use https path

or

if in /subfolder/member files or register in in this case it uses $site_info['css_path'] = https://www.mywebsite.com

[PHP Illegal string offset, this is so simple it should work]

I keep getting Illegal string offset 'https_home' and I don't know why.
I've googled but really can't understand what I'm doing wrong, to me this is so straight forward it should work.
I have my local set up with ini_set('display_errors', 1) & error_reporting(E_ALL) but but nothing is displayed on local
Online the error is entered in my log but the link works like a charm on the pages where it is echoed

 

Local php 5.6.30
Online php 5.5 where the issues seem to be
 

if ($local) ) {
$site_info['https_home'] = 'http://localhost/';
} else {
$site_info['https_home'] = 'https://www.mywebsite.com';
}
/* so $site_info['https_home'] is always defined and as I understand it,
the key is 'https_home' and the value is https://www.mywebsite.com.
So both key and value always exist as strings */

<h4 class="text-center"><?php echo '<a href="'.$site_info['https_home'].'/?action=register">Join us!</a>'; ?></h4>

[Office 365 & sending email to yourself from your server]

I changed the zone records on a website on the hosting service I use so I can use office 365 with my website's email. And it works like a charm when I send myself emails from regular  accounts, ie. comcast and yahoo.

 

However whether using phpmailer or php's mailto on my site, the emails just disappear when I send them from the domain that I set Office 365 up on. So emails from my-website.com wont go to my email account at [email protected] or [email protected]. They'll go to an email address like outlook.com but not my office accounts.

 

I can't believe I'm the first with this issue and tried to find something on the web but had no luck.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

 

 

[SOLVED: I can't get my css to refresh on my android phone]

NEVER MIND, I FOUND OUT WHAT THE Issue is, sigh I have two different headers for mobile and desktop.

Sorry, I've been looking at this for hours.

 

Using chrome mostly but some firefox too I can't get my css to refresh on my android phone, on my desk and laptop it works perfectly
There's supposed a white header at the top with an orange bottom border. but the old blue keeps showing up like the old css.

 

I've tried adding a version # to the css ie: href="style.css?version=1"

as described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2263096/css-file-is-not-refreshing-in-my-browser

Also I put the new css in the main folder for a time but it too didn't refresh there either

 

I cleared app cache and app data like described here
https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-clear-app-cache-and-app-data-in-android-6-0-marshmallow/

 

And cleared the cookies, cache, and history using the standard method on chrome
https://www.accessc.com/articles/clear-history-cookies-cache-android.html

Also I reset chrome on my phone but that didn't work either
And there are no commands in htaccess limiting css upload

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance

I've looked and couldn't find a place to donate to this site. Is there a place or link to use for donations to phpfreaks? I thought there was at one time.

Thanks

[Welcome Back]

Thank God and phpfreaks, I too missed the site. It was sad when I came here a few weeks and found the site down. It's one of those things that I, and maybe we, take for granted, until it's gone.

 

Thanks again for being back

[How do you include jquery in an html page?]

Thanks maxxd, yes jquery is already included by my theme.

[How do you include jquery in an html page?]

Thanks fastsol

 

I believe jquery is needed for the bootstrap menu and for hide divs to work although they seem to work without it.

I use an if (is_page( 'gallery' )) to include it jquery in the header and (!(is_page())) to exclude it in the footer on the gallery page.

 

Thanks again

[How do you include jquery in an html page?]

I'm using a plugin to include a photo gallery on a wordpress site.

 

At the bottom of the page in the footer I include

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

just like the samples I look at do it here http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples

 

The problem is that the plugin doesn't work when I include jquery.

I posted the probelm here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/huge-it-doesnt-work-with-google-ajax-jquery

 

And the reply was

 

jQuery should not be called this way. You try to call jQuery in no standard way, that's why it damages or jQuery and cause problems

 

jQuery should not be called this way? That's the way the samples do it

You try to call jQuery in no standard way? It's the same in every footer

 

Sooo, how do you call jquery and what is the standard way?

 

Thanks in advance
