you need PHP 5.2 for CiviCRM

array_fill_keys is a 5.2 function (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-fill-keys.php)

alternatively you can create a function to emulate array_fill_keys and use that function in your install

I'm getting the same error, only on every single page since - as far as I can tell - calling the CiviCRM menus exercises the error.  The message I get is:

Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Argument is not a string in /var/www/yhsalums/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Menu.php on line 615

I realize the problem is related to my PHP version but I can't easily upgrade PHP.  It would really help me to replace the function in the CiviCRM code (note Joomla v1.5 seems perfectly happy with this version of PHP).

I've tried taking the example function in this thread and putting it in various places in the code but it doesn't seem to be found.  Where should it go so that it's found by the call to Menu.php?  Alternatively, would it be possible for the CiviCRM code to check the PHP version and code around it?  That would be a nice, robust solution.

Thanks!

Can you add the following debug statement:

CRM_Core_Error::debug( 'm', $menu );

on line 612.

Sure.  Here you go - I had to remove some of the [breadcrumb] block to fit into the 20k message size limit here.  Let me know if that's the part you were looking for and I'll figure out how to make it fit.

I've tried taking the example function in this thread and putting it in various places in the code but it doesn't seem to be found.  Where should it go so that it's found by the call to Menu.php?  Alternatively, would it be possible for the CiviCRM code to check the PHP version and code around it?  That would be a nice, robust solution.

This would need to be a community contributed and maintained solution. The core team does not have the energy or resources to support multiple PHP/MySQL/CMS versions

Yeah - I'm a software developer, so I know the drill.  Just wishful thinking on my part.  I was hoping it would be fairly easy to test for the presence of that one function (array_filll_keys) and code in a replacement if it wasn't found.  I haven't encountered anything in the underlying Joomla that requires the newer version of PHP that CiviCRM does.  Or maybe I should say that I haven't encountered anything yet.

I'm game to add code like the sample that's in this thread if you can point me to the place it needs to go.  I'm not terribly facile with PHP but I know my way around a little bit if you can give me some additional details.

Much appreciated!
