Hello; I have been getting this error: <b>Warning</b>: Illegal string offset 'file' in <b>(path)/dev_lab_current/php/console_proc.php</b> on line <b>69</b><br /> This error, with the markup, is appearing the the top of the page that is supposed to display processing results. The line number represents this code: if(!self::$_input['file'])

self::$_input must be a string not an array, therefore only numeric offsets are allows when dereferencing the variable. I would double check its what you expect it to be with var_dump, a debugger, or similar debugging techniques.

Thank you for your input. self::$_input is a static class variable that is initiated as an array and set to $_POST vars when __construct() is run. As it turns out, using if(!isset(self::$_input['file'])) does the trick. I happened to find that out as an experiment to see if it was because there was nothing in the self::$_input array. That appears to be the case. I must have been getting this error all along and didn't notice it because of the markup displayed in a dark background. JK

Why would 'file' be an illegal string offset? Is it literally illegal or is there some other reason for this error? This is the first time I have seen this. Thanks for time and attention: JK -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
