Illegal string offset exception when cf7msm_check cookie not present.

  • Hi, I’d noticed that our logs where getting full of exceptions the other day since we started using your plugin.

    I pulled the site out of live and into a development to see what’s going on and noticed that the exception “Illegal string offset” being thrown from line 144 of the file “contact-form-7-multi-step-module.php”. After some investigation the error only appears to happen to new visitors when the cookie “cf7msm_check” is not present. Subsequent requests work fine once the cookie was set.

    Updated your code at line 144 from:

    
    $cf7msm_posted_data['cf7msm_prev_urls'] = cf7msm_get('cf7msm_prev_urls');

    To the following:

    
    if(is_array($cf7msm_posted_data)){
        $cf7msm_posted_data['cf7msm_prev_urls'] = cf7msm_get('cf7msm_prev_urls');
    }
    else {
        $cf7msm_posted_data = json_decode( $cf7msm_posted_data, true );
    }

    Which appears to have resolved the issue. Is there any chance of updating your release branch for your plugin with this snippet?

    Thanks in advance,
    S

    Hi,

    Thank you for reporting this. I don’t get any errors in my logs. Can you try replace line 144 with this and see if this works?

    $cf7msm_posted_data = cf7msm_get('cf7msm_posted_data', array());

    Thanks

    this should be fixed in version 2.24.

    Thank you to whoever donated to this plugin during this time. Every little bit helps!
