PHP function errors

[anonymous]

hello! I'm running maia on FC4 with php 5.0.4 and MySQL 4.1. And I got the latest SVN checkout. It works quite fine but when I want to confirm the status of an EMail I get errors like this:

for confirming ham:

Thank you very much, that one helps me.

The problem is that php5 made a backwards incompatible change: from http://us3.php.net/array_merge

Warning

The behavior 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. See the example below for details.

Example 3. array_merge() PHP 5 example
<?php
$beginning = 'foo';
$end = array(1 => 'bar');
$result = array_merge((array)$beginning, (array)$end);
print_r($result);
?> 

Thus the solution is probably a much shorter patch to add these typecasts. I need to install a php5 system somewhere to test this.
