This question may be related to a resolved thread.

I’m getting the same error as above, after upgrading to the latest build;

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Uninitialized string offset: 0
Filename: cp/content_publish.php
Line Number: 1544

etc etc…

Clearing the cache doesn’t want to help. =/

This is something to do with custom layouts - I reset the layout and voila, no error. Probably a bug that needs looking at…

Luc, can you replicate this every time? If so, what are the steps to reproduce?

I was also getting these errors with a custom publish form. I narrowed it down to around line #1520 in cp/content_publish.php. It loops through publish tabs and sets some values per tab:

foreach($vars['publish_tabs'] as $tab => $val)
{
  foreach($val as $key => $custom)
  {
    // lots of code
  }
}

The code assumes $custom will be an array with several keys/values, but the first element encountered (in this case) is an empty string (with key ‘_tab_label’). I fixed this issue temporarily with this code inside the second foreach:

if ( ! is_array($custom)) continue;

That gets rid of the notices.

Thanks for the report, Lodewijk. Luc, adding to what Sue said, can you reproduce reliably?

LucPestille and Lodewijk,

Were these EE installations upgrades or clean installs?

For me, it was a clean 2.1 install which has had a build upgrade.

Thanks, Low.

Luc? What about you?
