Illegal string offset Error - Any ideas?

[tbworld]

I believe your code warning is about line 295. So edit that file and on line 294 put.

var_dump($awc_goal['extra']);  die(__FILE__.__LINE__);

This will display to the screen then php will die.

This may not give us the any useful data as the error may not have occurred as of yet. In fact it probably did not, but lets see what it says first.
The buffered var_dump code you found is important ... but hold off. Maybe you will get lucky.

Then try moving die to the end of loop so that you display more data. The data may end up being positioned all over your screen. Normally we write this data to an external file or an array.

I even deleted the entire first If statement and it kept giving me the same error at the start of the second if statement.

I think another possibility is something like $somevar[$someothervar]. I don't see that anywhere around line 296, but maybe the line number is wrong for some reason. (The string 'ds' does appear in a number of places, so it is a string that's being used in that code).

You could try putting

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING);

at the top of the file.

TBH I would just stop using that mod and switch to this one, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=287053

It is fully supported and is pretty cool.

EDIT: Nevermind I just realized this is vB3 that mod is vB4 only, sorry.
