unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string

[nastea]

PHP 5.2
vB 3.6.1
vBa 2.2

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php on line 163

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php on line 266

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php on line 267

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /modules/stats.php on line 27

Everything seems to look ok (except column alignment) but those errors are getting thrown. Any help i'm trying to migrate everything over to a php5 server so doing some testing before hand to make sure it works right.

I have installed a fresh copy of vba.

Were you running v2.2.0 (or any previous versions) of the CMPS before hand? It looks like you were and upgraded to 2.2.1, but didn't overwrite all of the files when you upgraded.

[nastea]

yeah i was and i did an overwrite. it was doing it on 2.2.0 so i figured i'd try new version. unzipped, overwrote and then instead of 1 error on 2.2.0 i got those four errors on 2.2.1

Check your includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php and includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php files on your server and make sure they're showing v2.2.1 in the top of the files. If that's not it, please submit a support ticket via the Members' Area here.

Oh and i've had a "support ticket" open since oct 20th. which is still in "open" status.

[Brian]

Yes, but I was waiting until you answered the questions I asked here until I looked at it, considering that you submitted it before anyone asked you to. I will be moving onto support tickets shortly though.

Hello,

i got the same Problem too.
No changes were made in the forum or the vbadvaced.
Now i got the same Problems.

Warnung: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php (Zeile 240)

Warnung: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php (Zeile 241)


By searchig for the failure, i mentioned that i cant upload any avatars or attachments in the Forum. By ftp it is possible.
This failure ist only shown in the vbadvaced, in the forumsview there you can see no errors.

Is there a solution?

Sry for bad englisch!

Mario,
Have you tried downloading the package from the Members' Area here again and replacing your current files with the ones there to make sure you're running the most recent ones?

[usedname]

This started happening on a site that I know of after an upgrade from PHP4 to PHP5. Maybe it's related to PHP5?

[Chaos84]

Yes, the php was updated on the Server. What we have to do now?

[Braddock]

Chaos and me made the forum together. Chaos is now trying to update the portal.
We will post what happens!

Mario


Edit: Updating the portal was the solution.
The whole thing was the update of PHP, like usedname said. But i didnt noticed the update because the server isnt mine. So if you update PHP be sure to update vbadvanced.

Thx

Mario

I had the same problem when upgraded to PHP5.2 (from PHP5.1.6)

After I upgraded to vba2.2.1 it solved.

But what happens if someone run vba.2.1 (with vb <3.6)? (I have such a site)

[CheeseFrog]

Same problem here. Upgraded from PHP 4.4.4 to PHP 5.2.0. Everything seems to work fine but I get these errors at the top of of my site:


Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php on line 240

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php on line 241

I'm running VBA 2.2.0 but based on the suggestions here, I'm going to try upgrading to 2.2.1. I'll let you guys know how it goes in a few minutes.

[CheeseFrog]

Verified. Upgrading to VBA 2.2.1 fixes the problem

[HellRazor]

*EDIT * Never mind, mistake must have been on my end.

[speedoleague]

I have this problem, I can hide it by setting display_errors = Off in php.ini

It's my own server running PHP 5.2 and CMPS v2.2.1 (vB 3.6)

i've deleted the affected lines and it seems to be fine

[fatal1980]

I upgraded from php4.4.4 to PHP 5.2.1-0

I also upgrade from mysql4 to 5.0.32 and am getting this exact error.
I am running vb3.6.4 with vba 2.2.1

Any ideas?

thanks!
