osCommerce Warning: array_merge() error fix in OsCommerce

This tutorial will show you how to fix the following warning at your admin panel:
Warning: array_merge()… It usually looks like:

1. First of all, you need to look at the file mentioned file in the warning message. As you can see in the example it is:

/home/mgreen/public_html/adrian/osc/admin/customers.php

Open the mentioned file and find the following text (there can be several lines with this text):

array_merge()

 

In the example file customers.php you will find the following code:

$customer_info = array_merge($country, $info, $reviews);
$cInfo_array = array_merge($customers, $customer_info);

 

2. You need to update all the code with array_merge. Add (array) text before each of $ symbols. So, it should become:

$customer_info = array_merge((array)$country, (array)$info, (array)$reviews);
$cInfo_array = array_merge((array)$customers, (array)$customer_info);

 

You should do the same for all code with array_merge.

Note: The behaviour of array_merge() was modified in PHP 5. Unlike PHP 4, array_merge() now only accepts parameters of type array. However, you can use typecasting to merge other types.

3. Here is the list of files which should be edited in such cases:

• /catalog/admin/


• banner_manager.php


• categories.php


• configuration.php


• customers.php


• manufacturers.php


• orders.php


• orders_status.php


• reviews.php
