Re: admin-side error after fresh install

I got this same error, on the Settings page (Textpattern 4.6.2, PHP 7.1). For me, it didn’t go away by itself. In the thread Never seen this popup before … !?, user Etc indicates the reason for this , but the solution he posted is not correct .

The problem is, that in the function real_max_upload_size() in /textpattern/include/txp_prefs.php, the variable $var is used both as a string and an integer, but that the string may contain also a letter. PHP 7.1 no longer accepts that, when a string is used as an int. The PHP NOTICE is there for values like ‘8M’ for the max. upload size.

The PHP NOTICE can be made to go away by using the intval() or floatval() function, when $val is supposed to be treated like a number. It must come after the line $modifier = strtolower(substr($val, -1));

So:

foreach ($candidates as $item) {
        $val = trim($item);
        $modifier = strtolower(substr($val, -1));
        $val = floatval($val);
        switch ($modifier) {
            // The 'G' modifier is available since PHP 5.1.0
            case 'g':
                $val *= 1024;
            case 'm':
                $val *= 1024;
            case 'k':
                $val *= 1024;
        }
        if ($val > 1) {
            if (is_null($real_max)) {
                $real_max = $val;
            } elseif ($val < $real_max) {
                $real_max = $val;
            }
        }
    }
