Hi
I'm looking for some help with some warnings that have appeared on the Control panel at the top see below, I've downloaded the install again and had a look at line 38 in the utils.php they appear to be the same.

Can anyone help please? I don't appear to be able to see what version it is in the component I tried installing again with no luck

Are you using Joomla Version 3.7.2? (current version) because utils.php exists on ca. line: 31.
J 3.7.1. was an important security release and 3.7.2 followed by some J Core bug release.

Concerning your "Warnings" > these are important information for developers. It seems, that you are using PHP version 7.1?

a) you could set the warnings in backend > System > Global Configuration > Server > Error Reporting > None.

b) and/or change following in line 38 resp. 31 .../administrator/components/com_phocadownload/libraries/phocadownload/utils/utils.php
from:

Code: Select all

$xml_items = '';

to:

Code: Select all

$xml_items = array();

Pls adv. for information to Jan. Thank you & kind regards,
Christine

Hi, seems like you are using PHP 7.1 on your server. Until there is no new version for PHP 7.1, just disable development warnings in Global configuration of your Joomla!
