Which version of php are you using? Maybe php5 is more strict in its intrepretations.

Hi all,
I don't understand why this is a problem only for me - no sign of it on the web anywhere...
In the forum module of my 4.7.3 install I have been hitting problems with the forum when creating or editing containers and forums. Two errors were common:
[] operator not supported for strings... and in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in forum.module
Tracing these in the module, they appear to relate to the use of the $containers variable in the forum_form_submit function:
if ($container) { $containers = variable_get('forum_containers'), array ()); $containers[] = $form_values['tid']; variable_set('forum_containers',$containers) }
This appears to be setting the $containers variable to a string datatype and then trying to treat it as an array. I added [] to the first definition of $containers and it now works OK.
Have I misunderstood something?
Nick
