Illegal offset type warning message

[CEDillard]

I am suddenly receiving the following message when accessing my PhotoPost pages:
Warning: Illegal offset type in E:\Accounts\Website\gallery\forums\photopost.php on line 257

you can view this at

I have done no recent upgrades.
I do not touch the code. I had it installed by PhotoPost and
did one upgrade, months ago.
The last time a photo was uploaded by a user I moved it into a valid category and checked things to confirm all was well and the site looked fine.
Now suddenly I get over 50 lines of this message.
I can page down and see the PhotoPost page but every link I follow reproduces the same message and I cannot log in as administrator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you or your host recently upgrade to PHP Version 4.3.10 (or higher) due to the recent security warning?

Yep looks like php error messages are set way too high

Your host recompiled php here

what is your photopost.php line 257?

Thank you for your assistance.
After contacting my service provider (iPowerWeb) regarding php error message settings I received a not-so-helpful reply that php worked on their test files so I should just reinstall PhotoPost.
Not being too thrilled about this I went back to my site to check on things before firing off another email and to my surprise the error messages are no longer occuring.
iPowerWeb may have fixed something and not wanted to tell me but either way, PhotoPost is now working so I appreciate the feedback from each of you.

Can't say that I can recommend iPowerWeb to anyone, their help desk is always very criptic in their replies.

I always fine out hosts will never admit there wrong

Your error reporting was set to like 357

Notice now it is the default error reporting in your phpinfo file

error_reporting 2047 2047


They definately adjusted it and did not say anything. They are comical to say the least.

"iPowerWeb may have fixed something and not wanted to tell me"

Yes, they did...there was other modules that needed upgrading after the recent PHP security release upgrade. No matter, it fixed for you.

Everything was running fine for me until i just upgraded to php v4.3.10 and I started getting the same exact errors. No change in my php.ini file. So i just edited it to turn off displaying errors

error_reporting is set the same as all my other servers.

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

So i just turned off the display of the errors which seems to have resolved the problem for now.
