Admin List Page is blank

Hi Malcolm, sorry the update is giving you trouble.

Can you tell me what PHP version you are using?

Even better would be if you have a PHP error log set up, I’d be very interested to know the error you’re getting.

Hi,

PHP 5.3.10

Following error in Logs

[Sun Nov 27 17:16:12 2016] [warn] [client 86.191.240.109] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /var/www/vhosts/summerstars.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes/PDb_List_Admin.class.php on line 357, referer: https://summerstars.co.uk/wp-admin/admin.php?page=participants-database

OK, I made a mistake, that syntax requires PHP 5.4 or better. If you are running PHP 5.4 or later, you don’t need to do this.

Here is the fix:

In the plugin file classes/PDb_List_Admin.class.php on line 357, you’ll find:

) )['pid'] );

Remove the part with the brackets so that it looks like this:

) ) );

Now, below that, add a new line and put this in there:

$selected_ids = $selected_ids['pid'];

That’s it…just so the change is clear here is the fixed code from 352 to 358:

$selected_ids = Participants_Db::apply_filters( 'before_list_admin_with_selected_action', filter_input_array( INPUT_POST, array(
                    'pid' => array(
                        'filter' => FILTER_VALIDATE_INT,
                        'flags' => FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY,
                    )
                ) ) );
$selected_ids = $selected_ids['pid'];

Thanks for that – I have taken the opportunity to upgrade php for this particular site. Just have to remember to check the version when I move it to its live domain.

How do I mark this topic as resolved?

Many thanks

I’ll be releasing Participants Database 1.7.1.1 soon, this will be fixed in that release.
