Warning: str_repeat() expects parameter 2 to be long

I’ve upgraded my local development environment to PHP 5.3.1 with MySQL 5.1.52 and I’m seeing the following messages:

TXP version is 4.0.8 – the same site on a server running PHP 5.2.11 & MySQL 5.0.91 shows no errors.

Any thoughts?

Re: Warning: str_repeat() expects parameter 2 to be long

Does adi_menu use str_repeat()? Does it ever feed that function a value, say from a tag attribute, that could be a numeric string?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply.

No, adi_menu doesn’t use str_repeat().

I’m hoping that it’s something to do with the (old) version of TXP running in conjunction with PHP 5.3 or MySQL 5.1. I need to upgrade TXP from 4.0.8 anyway, so I’ll see what happens then.

Re: Warning: str_repeat() expects parameter 2 to be long

Ah, careless of me — I was looking at 4.3.0. Line 1948 of txplib_misc.php does indeed use str_repeat(), using the global $txptracelevel as the second argument. You are upgrading so I think this will go away — from a quick check I see that in 4.0.8 $txptracelevel is initialized as an empty string; in 4.3.0 it is initialized to 0.

And to confirm – an upgrade to 4.3.0 sorted out all the error messages.

For the record, errors seen in TXP 4.0.7 as well.
