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

Possibly, although there's some strangeness. Another site on the same server, crafted from original drupal install, same version, has forums working fine without my amendment to the code...
