Hi Ghulam Abbas,

I suspect this issue may be caused by using PHP 7.3, which is a very recent version released in the past month, and it includes a new notice for this function (which previously did not cause one). http://php.net/manual/en/doc.changelog.php

Gibbon has currently only been tested up to PHP 7.2. Luckily I t’s just a notice and not a fatal error, for now you could silence error reporting for Notices on your system, or set your system Install Type to Production to hide all notices.

I’ll be sure to update this for v17.

Thanks!

I’ve committed the fix for this PHP notice to the v17 development branch, which you could apply to your install by making the same code change: https://github.com/GibbonEdu/core/commit/c04b0719f8f1a87813df14c4e7735d0083ed04b6

Let us know if you spot any other PHP notices. Thanks!
