PHP Notice Error

Question

Hi,

 After I converted my site to (php 7.4) I got an error in the error log as follows :

PHP Notice:  Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /home1/qa-include/app/post-update.php on line 424

This happens after I moderate a question submitted by an unregistered user

 The other error :

PHP Notice:  Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /home1/qa-include/app/users.php on line 418

some times  also

I hope someone can help solve it

Answer 1

Q2A works perfectly fine with PHP 7.4. In fact, that's probably the best PHP version to use 1.8.6.

If you're facing issues it is most likely related to a plugin. Try removing all plugins (except from the ones that come with Q2A) and retest.

For the first error, I'm under the impression the test is related to closing/opening questions.

The second error, seems to be related to session management. It seems to be trying to get a session from a deleted user. Most likely you have deleted a user that was navigating the site. You can disregard that one.

By the way, here is the fix for the "second error": https://github.com/q2a/question2answer/pull/944/files

Just apply those changes, delete a few users (that should be navigating the site) and you shouldn't get any error after their first page refresh.
