 * Hi everyone
 * I’m having a problem with a theme I’m using, I get the following error: Warning:
   Illegal string offset ‘param_name’ in (shows location) on line 75
    Warning: Illegal
   string offset ‘param_name’ in (shows location) on line 77 It repeats these two
   errors 6 times each. Now the code found on lines 75 and 77 are the following:
 * 72)if(!empty($attributes[‘params’])) {
    73) $attributes_keys = Array(); 74) foreach(
   $attributes[‘params’] as $attribute) { **75)** $key = array_search($attribute[‘
   param_name’], $attributes_keys); 76) if( $key === false ) { **77)** $attributes_keys[]
   = $attribute[‘param_name’]; 78) self::$sc[$name][‘params’][] = $attribute; 79)}
   else { 80) self::$sc[$name][‘params’][$key] = $attribute;
 * The information I’ve found so far suggests that PHP 5.4 is more strict with array
   operations, hence the error message.
 * Now my question is, how must the code be altered to make it work without errors?

 * You’ll really need to consult the developer – as these forums don’t support commercial
   products, sorry.
