Warning: Creating default object from empty value in […]/wordbooker_cron.php

  • Hi !

    My logs are getting full those repeated lines (~100 to 150 lines per day):

    [16-Jul-2013 17:21:43 UTC] PHP Warning:  Creating default object from empty value in /path/to/www/wp-content/plugins/wordbooker/includes/wordbooker_cron.php on line 174

    It seems to be linked to my PHP version (5.4.4-14+deb7u2) and log level, but I can’t figure out if it should be fixed into the code or if I have to change my log level.

    According to my php.ini, my log level is the following:

    error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED

    It looks like its a change in 5.4.

    I have the fix for it – so I’ll made the code changes and make sure it doesn’t break things and then I’ll push out a test fix.

    the changes are to add:

    $fb_group_list[] = new stdClass();

    and 

    $groups["page_id"] = new stdClass();

    above the relevant lines in the wordbooker_cron.php file.

    Hello Steve.
    I installed recently last version 2.1.35 and saw your fix was included.

    Unfortunately the issue has appeared at other places now.

    Those are odd – because those are warnings coming from a check on an object that happens to be empty because of what has been returned by Facebook.

    line 175 in the cron is:

    if(!is_null($fbstat->message)){

    I don’t have 5.4.4 installed so I can’t check any of these – I just have to fix them as and when they turn up

    Plugin Author Steve

    (@steveatty)

    You could try inserting this before line 175:

    if(!is_object($fbstat)) { continue ; }

    and then put this in before line 140:

    if(!is_object($fb_group)) { continue ; }

    Or you could turn off the STRICT error reporting ??

    Thread Starter AlphaK

    Thanks, done. I have patched the code and will give a try.

    Well about the STRICT error reporting, I don’t know if a lot of people use it. But as Wordbooker is the only plugin giving me this kind of errors, I’ll keep the setting for the moment and hope it won’t take too much of effort to fix those little annoyances ??

    Plugin Author Steve

    (@steveatty)

    Well they’re just warnings about things not existing – which at the moment isn’t a problem because of the way PHP works. STRICT is usually used in Development environments as throwing warnings on live sites doesn’t really add anything.

    I’ll enable strict on my dev copy of Wordbooker and see what it blows out at me.

    Plugin Author Steve

    (@steveatty)

    It looks like 

    $fb_group_list[] = new stdClass();		$fb_group_list[]->name=$fb_group->name;

    Can be commented out – looks like it was code left over from a previous method of getting data.

    Plugin Author Steve

    (@steveatty)

    I set:

    error_reporting (E_ALL | E_NOTICE | E_STRICT | E_DEPRECATED ) ;

    and I’m not seeing anything too bad from wordbooker.

    Thread Starter AlphaK

    (@alphak)

    Actually I have error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED, so E_STRICT was already disabled. I checked by echoing error_reporting on a WordPress page (in case it is modified by any plugin), it is set to 4983. So E_STRICT is indeed disabled.

    I understood that part of E_STRICT is now integrated into E_ALL in PHP 5.4, but could not guess what part exactly yet.

    I set those values because php.ini recommended E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT for a production server, and then removed also E_NOTICE because it was giving too much errors for other websites.

    I commented out the 2 lines concerning $fb_group_list[], by the way. I will check my log file (it’s emailed to me every night if it is not empty ??

    Plugin Author Steve

    (@steveatty)

    my PHP.ini file makes no mention of what’s recommended for a live site – I suspect logging warnings on a live site probably isn’t worth while.

    Thread Starter AlphaK

    (@alphak)

    For the moment the 2 lines commented out seems to be a nice fix. I did not have any error log since that time.

    Plugin Author Steve

    (@steveatty)

    OK – I’ve removed those two lines from the code.
