[] operator not supported for strings

[rjez16]

Help please. I'm a completely lost on what to do with this. I actually didn't know there was an error log till I started researching this.

Long story short a friend helped my brother and I set this website up years ago and he has since passed away. So my brother noticed there were a few updates and started clicking buttons. Now its broke. If someone can fix this I would be willing to compensate.   

I cleared the log yesterday and its pages long again.

which version of php are you using? which version of SMF are you using?

[rjez16]

smf 2.0.15

Where do I look to find what version of php?

Version Information:
Forum version: SMF 2.0.15 (more detailed)
Current SMF version: SMF 2.0.15
GD version: bundled (2.1.0 compatible)
Database Server: Percona
MySQL version: 5.7.23-23
PHP: 7.3.8
Server version: Apache

Ideally SMF 2.0.x should be run on PHP 7.1 that fixes the create_function warning messages.

PortaMX might need an update to fix the [] operators.

[rjez16]

If I'm seeing it correctly all mods appeare to be the latest versions.

Should this issue be pointed to portamx forums?

[vbgamer45]

It should fixing the each and the [] are somewhat straight forward to do so.

[rjez16]

it appears Portamx is all but dead. there was one post over there about the same issue but it looks like they wont help him. Is my site fixable or should it be scrapped? 

[@rjen]

I think there is an answer there: use the latest version...of Portamx. And if you cannot you can downgrade to Php version 5.6?

[rjez16]

I am using the latest version of Portamx 1.54.

How would I downgrade php? Is this something I need to call host monster to fix?

Again I'm sorry I have no clue about any of this, please be patient with me.

Thing is, PortaMX is no longer supported, feline would simply prefer you move over to PortaMX-Forum which is a modified and rebranded SMF with PortaMX included.

Best suggestion, drop PortaMX and switch to another portal, and in the meantime ask your host about downgrading PHP.

Hi *,

as an alternative and to avoid to switch a portal (until SMF 2.1 is released) or to downgrade to an older PHP version i have forked PortaMx on github and incorporated a few minor fixes i had collected to have at least some sort of compatibility with newer SMF and PHP updates:

Testing of / further contributions to the source code above are welcome.

I have also submitted these to the upstream repo hxxs://github.com/PortaMx/PortaMx-1.54-ecl but i doubt that these will be incorporated there as the repo looks quite abandoned.
