[BUG] Blank white page with PHP Warning

All I get after updating from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2+ is a blank white page with a PHP Warning (not Fatal Error) on it:

Warning: stristr() [function.stristr]: needle is not a string or an integer in /path/to/forums/arcade.php on line 5550


This warning does not cease execution, but I guess since it's part of the SQL stuff it's needed before the page can get any kind of output.



To update our Arcade, I uploaded (and over-wrote) all files from the upload folder to my forum root directory, then imported the XML (allowing Overwrite). The steps for template changes were not needed, as they were already done for 2.7.1 the same way. (Well, and because I've already customized my postbit.)

The Arcade was working previously (2.7.1+), but there was a [unconfirmed] report from one of our members that scores from one game could be applied to another. Thinking that perhaps that bug is one that might have been fixed, I decided to update. XD





As this does not seem to be any kind of common error, I'm not really sure what went wrong. I have tried re-uploading the files and re-importing the XML, both without success. I've also tried setting error_reporting(0); just to see if getting rid of the error would be fine, but oddly enough, the warning still stays on the page. O_O Not quite sure what THAT is all about...





Edit: P.S., vB is 4.1.10

Another bit of weirdness to add onto this error...

When on my home computer, I generally see the forums in Debug Mode. I decided to turn that off just in case it was screwing with the Arcade, and I still get the same error, but with one small difference:

/path/to/forums/arcade.php is changed to [path]/arcade.php

Not sure if that matters much in actually finding out what's wrong. Perhaps it's something in my config.php?







Also, that stuff I said about setting error_reporting(0), I tried setting that in my config.php, and no errors were reported (weird, because I set error_reporting(0) right after the include of global.php), but still got a blank white screen.

I am getting the same error...any solution to this?

Warning: stristr() [function.stristr]: needle is not a string or an integer in [path]/arcade.php on line 5550

This error is showing up at the top of the arcade. Any ideas?

You said 2.7.1+, so I assumed 2.7.1 or greater.

I tried your method too, still getting an error.

Use only 2.7.1+ main arcade.php file and the edit I did..
Do not use 2.7.2+ main arcade.php file...
