Ok, I have narrowed the problem down further. The error is coming from the following code: function update_fav_people($fav_people) {         global $_USER;         $DELETE = "DELETE FROM favorites WHERE user_id = '$_USER[user_id]' and fav_type = '2'";         $dresult = mysql_query($DELETE);         if ($fav_people) {                 natksort($fav_people);                 foreach ($fav_people as $name=>$more) {                         if ($more) {                                 foreach ($more as $people_id=>$value) {                                         if ($people_id != 0) {                                                 $INSERT = "INSERT INTO favorites (user_id, fav_type, id) VALUES ('$_USER[user_id]', '2', '$people_id')";                                                 echo $INSERT;                                                 $iresult = mysql_query($INSERT);                                         }                                 }                         }                 }                 $UPDATE = "UPDATE users SET fav_people = '" . addslashes(serialize($fav_people)) . "' WHERE user_id = '$_USER[user_id]'";                 echo $UPDATE;                 $uupdate = mysql_query($UPDATE);         } else {                 $UPDATE = "UPDATE users SET fav_people = '' WHERE user_id = '$_USER[user_id]'";                 $uupdate = mysql_query($UPDATE);         } } When running the UPDATE code, it inserts extra data.  The Mysql record then looks like this:  a:5:{i:1;s:13:"Julia Roberts";i:2;s:0:"";i:3;s:0:"";i:4;s:0:"";s:13:"Julia Roberts";a:1:{i:8483;a:2:{s:9:"birthdate";s:10:"1967-10-28";s:5:"image";s:2:"mf";}}} It should just look like this: a:1:{s:13:"Julia Roberts";a:1:{i:8483;a:2:{s:9:"birthdate";s:10:"1967-10-28";s:5:"image";s:2:"mf";}}} Again I inherited this code and am just trying to make it work.  How can I rewrite the above function so that it doesn't insert the extra data? Thanks again for all the help.

Tried that, same error...any other ideas?

Any other ideas?

Yes, an included file.  I inherited this code so I am not sure of all the naming conventions yet. Here is the output of the print_r: Array ( [1] => Tom hanks [2] => [3] => [4] => [Tom Hanks] => Array ( [16937] => Array ( [birthdate] => 1956-07-09 [image] => mf ) ) )

It is being defined in another file with this: $fav_people = unserialize($_USER[fav_people]); Neither server has register globals turned on (including the one where the code works).

Hello, I have the same files on 2 servers, one server is running php 4.3.2 and the code works.  The newer server is running 4.4.3 and the same code does not work. The code is as follows:                 foreach ($fav_people as $name=>$more) {                         foreach ($more as $people_id=>$value) {                                 if ($people_id != 0) {                                         $INSERT = "INSERT INTO favorites (user_id, fav_type, id) VALUES ('$_USER[user_id]', '2', '$people_id')";                                         $iresult = mysql_query($INSERT);                                 }                         } On the newer server, it gives the following error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in _db_functions.php on line 157 This warning shows up 4 times for that line.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance. ambition13
