Hi all, I'm working on this website: http://www.theliberal.ie/disgraceful-politicians-do-not-have-to-pay-water-charges-on-their-second-homes/ I am trying to implement advertising. Below is the code, as you can see on line 167. I'm getting a uninitialized string offset. I have no idea what that is? Some of the other links work fine? For example: http://www.theliberal.ie/alert-first-ebola-case-confirmed-in-the-united-states/ Please help! The line of code that's causing the problem is this: $dyn_sidebar = $GLOBALS['sbg_sidebar'][0]; Code (markup): The full code for the page is this: <?php $post_id = null; $enable_full_width_post = get_post_custom_values('full_width_postthemeloy_checkbox'); ?> <!-- begin content --> <section id="contents" class="clearfix"> <div class="row"> <div class="container <?php if(of_get_option('post_layout') == '2c-r1-fixed') {}else{ echo 'two-columns-sidebar';}?><?php if(of_get_option('sidebar_center_width') == true) {echo " center_350";}?>"> <div class="sidebar_content"> <div class="p7ehc-a <?php if($enable_full_width_post[0] == 1) {echo "grid_12";}else{echo "grid_7";}?>"> <div id="p7EHCd_1"> <?php $post_layout = of_get_option('post_layout'); ?> <?php require_once dirname(__FILE__) .

do a print_r($GLOBALS); or print_r($GLOBALS['sbg_sidebar']); before the offending line, and see if there's an actual array in there. If it's not, then you've found your error. Using GLOBALS (of any kind, maybe except for inside functions), and not checking to see if a value / variable / array exist before using it is bad practice, and will return errors and/or warnings.
Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm a css guy, I've no idea of php, im just taking over from someone. Could you please give me code or an alternative code to what I need? Thank you!
Since I don't know what you $GLOBALS contain, no, I can't. Can you do the print_r($GLOBALS['sbg_sidebar']); and post what it outputs? Preferably both on a page that works, and one that doesn't.
That means that you have an array with a key 0 with value 0. And I'm also assuming that you DON'T have an array on the other page (the one with the error). Which returns the error you're seeing - (it can't find the array key 0, hence it can't process the request). You can fix this by doing something like this: instead of $dyn_sidebar = $GLOBALS['sbg_sidebar'][0]; Code (markup): do something like this: $dyn_sidebar = is_array($GLOBALS['sbg_sidebar']) ? $GLOBALS['sbg_sidebar'][0] : ''; Code (markup): That should make the $dyn_sidebar an empty variable if the sbg_sidebar-array isn't actually an array (and if it is an array, it should resolve without trouble)
