Marking a board as read results in "operator not supported for strings"

[Darkness7148]

Just upgraded to PHP 7.1 and running SMF 2.0.14. There appears to be this error when you try to mark a board as read:

Code Select Expand

[] operator not supported for strings

It doesn't appear to happen every time though..

Is that the only line in the error report? Don't you get a file & line number?

[Darkness7148]

No, nothing in error log either.

Can confirm this, it happens to me as well when I try to mark my recycle bin as read (on PHP 7.1, this does not happen on PHP 7.0 or below).

Nothing in the forum error log or the server error log for me either.

Confirmed
Sources\Subs-Boards.php         

Code Select Expand


$logBoardInserts = '';
while ($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($result))
$logBoardInserts[] = array($modSettings['maxMsgID'], $user_info['id'], $row['id_board']);



Find change to

Code Select Expand


$logBoardInserts = array();
while ($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($result))
$logBoardInserts[] = array($modSettings['maxMsgID'], $user_info['id'], $row['id_board']);

vbgamer45,

It looks like this bug is in 2.1 as well.  Do you want to submit a PR for it as well?

[vbgamer45]

Can you do it. Takes me too long with github...I can never keep my copy up to date with the changes.
