hello all and thank you all so much ahead of time for any help.. I am using a old, unsupported testing/quiz script called phptest. My webhost  is telling me since they switched me to the new servers they are getting errors in their php logs about 2gigs a day from my scipt.. Now.. I prob had the error on the old servers but they prob didnt log or didnt notice it..

Is it normal for webhosts to have logging on in php? I would say that they would have a lot of errors from all the domains...

ok so here is the error they sent me

[11-Aug-2006 19:08:08] PHP Warning:  array_search(): Wrong datatype for
second argument in
/hsphere/local/home/jonathan/rescueexams.com/firetest/question.php on line
126
[11-Aug-2006 19:08:41] PHP Warning:  array_search(): Wrong datatype for
second argument in
/hsphere/local/home/jonathan/rescueexams.com/firetest/question.php on line
126
[11-Aug-2006 19:08:57] PHP Warning:  array_search(): Wrong datatype for
second argument in
/hsphere/local/home/jonathan/rescueexams.com/firetest/question.php on line
126

So  I opened up question.php and here is lines 125-134

[code]      // figure out which question number we are on.
        $question_number = array_search($question_id, $test_session->questions);
        // we need to compare types using the '===' comparison operator because array_search() can return
        // 0 for the index which evaluates to false using the normal '==' comparison operator
        if ($question_number === FALSE) {
            pt_exit('Fatal Error: unable to determine question number.');
        }

        // output test title and additional notes
        echo "<div class=\"form\"><center><h2>{$test_session->info['description']}</h2></center>";
[/code]

as you can see this is line 126
        $question_number = array_search($question_id, $test_session->questions);


so do you need more info to diagnos the issue?
I dont seem to be having any issues as far as testing is concerned but who know for sure..

can this line safely be removed?

Any ideas?

I am migrating towards another testing script and I am looking at moodle right now any other suggestions for a feature rich script would be great.!

THANKS SOOO MUCH
