# PHP error “Warning: Uninitialized string offset 1”

 * In my website error report (Sentry) I get this error on multiple Loco Translate
   PHP files:
    Warning: Uninitialized string offset 1
 * Example: /loco-translate/lib/compiled/gettext.php in loco_parse_wp_comment at
   line 36
 * To avoid this error, for example, put `! empty( $block[1] )` before `$block[1]`.
 * Can you fix this in the next update? That would prevent many unnecessary error
   reports.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * To get this error would require the first comment in a file to be an empty `#`
   symbol. Pretty rare, but I can reproduce it and have fixed it in trunk.
 * Thanks for reporting.
