PHP5 Problem with the AdminCP

[Tulsa]

I recently switched to using php5 and when I do I get this error.



Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1064) : eval()'d code on line 3

I submitted a ticket through my host A Small Orange and received this once I let them into the admincp to see it.

I see the error now. After running some other tests and searches I think I have narrowed down the problem. The behavior of array_merge() was modified in PHP 5. Unlike PHP 4, array_merge() now only accepts parameters of type array. However, you can use typecasting to merge other types. This would require you to actually modify the forum. I would recommend just using php4 until a new version of the forum is released that is more compatible with php5. The performance increases won't counter the trouble it is to try and convert everything over. I apologize for all of the trouble.

I guess I didn't actually ask a question yesterday, my bad.

Is vBulletin 3.5.X not compatible with PHP5 as is suggested by ASO? I thought I read somewhere on here we should have no problems with using PHP5? If we can or are supposed to be able to, any thoughts on the above error?

It is compatible and has been since 3.0.x and updated some more in 3.5.0, and the array_merge is from eval'd code which suggests it from a plugin and not stock vBulletin code.

Found it, thanks!
