Warning: array_splice() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in _chain_menu_access_callback() (line 59

Thanks for opening a new issue. If you find a problem for which there's no existing issue, then opening a new issue is the way to go, then it can be managed as needed.

What's the path/URL of the page where you get that warning?

Please answer the question in #995214-3: Chain Menu Access API for D6 and D7 — D7 RELEASED, too.

I'm sorry, it seems I'm confusing you. This is not my intention.

The idea here on drupal.org is that every thread has one subject, and if that subject is complete, then the thread will be closed.

If you see something that's not working right, and you don't find a thread that already discusses it, then open a new issue, where everything about this problem will be discussed. In the end, this will hopefully result in a solution, and the state will be set to fixed.

This is what we're doing here for #1036478: Warning: array_splice() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in _chain_menu_access_callback() (line 59. Ideally, we discuss this and nothing else, and we discuss this here and nowhere else.

The issue titled #995214: Chain Menu Access API for D6 and D7 — D7 RELEASED is not about specific warnings that we hope to fix within a week or two, but it's supposed to live as long as Chain Menu Access API is in BETA or RC status. I will close it when the module is released, after it has collected lots of positive feedback and the module seems to work for everyone.

I would have liked you to answer the question

What's the path/URL of the page where you get that warning?

here and answer the other question in the other thread about how I could improve my queue management in the other thread.

I got one of the answers: the path is 'forum'. That'll let work on the warning.

Oh, and BTW, if you post your issue in the wrong issue queue, then that's only a minor problem, because issues can easily be moved from one module to another, IF they are an issue by themselves. Obviously, if you add a chain_menu_access problem under the heading #809404: Forum Access for D7, then I can't move #809404: Forum Access for D7 to the Chain Menu Access API queue.

I hope this clears things up a bit for you.

There's no need to apologize. We've all been new at this at some point. You would really help me if you could tell me how to make this clearer for newcomers, because you're certainly not the only one who messes up my long-running development issues.

No, the IP address doesn't make any difference.

Can you try changing line 59 in chain_menu_access.module from

  $new_access_arguments = array_splice($args, 0, $count, array());

to

  $new_access_arguments = array_splice($args, 0, (int) $count, array());

? IOW, insert (int) ?

This may make the warning go away, or it may turn it into an actual error. Which one is it?

Yes, that helps, thank you for sharing your experience! I'll definitely add links.

I think I'm already at the upper limit on the number of ifs and your text has even more, but I get your idea and will think about it when the next version is ready.

Thank you, that's a cheap fix.

It's weird. $count is an int, but apparently that fact gets lost somewhere along the line, and array_splice() is unusually peculiar about the type. We can easily cast it back to int if that keeps PHP happy...

What is your PHP version?

No, change the line that looked like

  $new_access_arguments = array_splice($args, 0, $count, array());

so that it now looks like

  $new_access_arguments = array_splice($args, 0, (int) $count, array());

In Other Words, insert just six characters, namely

" (int)"

worked for me, thanks

Fixed in the 7.x-1.x-dev version on Jan 28 and in 6.x-1.x-dev just now.
