I can't get access to my WP (version3.4.2) admin. It says as mentioned above
Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _POST in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/rtthemes16/rt-framework/classes/admin.php on line 540.
The line 540 is :
function rt_check_sidebar_array($_POST){
if(is_array($_POST)){
$start_unset_count = 0;
foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
if(stristr($key, '_sidebar_name') == TRUE && $value=="") {
unset($_POST[$key]);
$start_unset_count = 1;
}
if($start_unset_count>0){
unset($_POST[$key]);
$start_unset_count++;
}
if($start_unset_count==6){
$start_unset_count = 0;
}
}
}
$newPost == $newPost ? $newPost : $_POST;
return $_POST;
}
Any insights?
Thanks :)
Since PHP 5.4, you cannot use a superglobal as the parameter to a function
$_POST is globally accessible. So you don't have to pass to your function.
http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.superglobals.php#112184
This is how your function should look like
function rt_check_sidebar_array(){
if(is_array($_POST)){
$start_unset_count = 0;
foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
if(stristr($key, '_sidebar_name') == TRUE && $value=="") {
unset($_POST[$key]);
$start_unset_count = 1;
}
if($start_unset_count>0){
unset($_POST[$key]);
$start_unset_count++;
}
if($start_unset_count==6){
$start_unset_count = 0;
}
}
}
$newPost == $newPost ? $newPost : $_POST;
return $_POST;
}
@user3450716, the only thing you need to do, as Abhik Chakraborty said, is to delete the $_POST
from your function rt_check_sidebar
parameters and leave the function with no parameters, like this:
your line 540:
function rt_check_sidebar_array($_POST){
change it to:
function rt_check_sidebar_array(){
@user3450716.
You can't change superglobal variables too, so you can't use unset($_POST[$key])
function rt_check_sidebar_array(){
$post = $_POST;
if(is_array($post)){
$start_unset_count = 0;
foreach( $post as $key => $value ){
if( stristr( $key, '_sidebar_name' ) == TRUE && $value == "" ) {
unset( $post[ $key ] );
$start_unset_count = 1;
}
if( $start_unset_count > 0 ){
unset( $post[ $key ] );
$start_unset_count++;
}
if( $start_unset_count == 6 ){
$start_unset_count = 0;
}
}
}
// idk why you wrote this,
// because $newPost variable isn't used in the code above and below
$newPost == $newPost ? $newPost : $post;
return $post;
}
