Topic: Illegal offset string

I am running 1.4.4. I have upgraded from an older 1.2-version.

I keep getting this error: "Warning: Illegal string offset 'email' in ..header.php on line 83", and variants like:
Warning: Illegal string offset 'realname' in ..profile.php on line 2033a

Googling tells me that this indicates that the $user-array is not really an array, and that there are some differences in the way php handles arrays that has changed. I am running PHP 5.5.9-1

Any ideas how to fix this?

Turned out to be an error not related to PunBB.

Re: Illegal offset string

Same problem

Warning: Illegal string offset 'email' in ..header.php on line 83

Warning: Illegal string offset 'username' in ..profile.php on line 1863

peregilk can you please tell me exactly what the error fix was for you?

If anybody else has the error fix too I would appreciate the help.
