Update 2.4.9 functions.php throws error (

Aloha!

Thanks for the great plug-in and all the help in the past. Sadly we seem to have a new problem.

Our office manager updated the plugin today to ver 2.4.9 and was immediately greeted by a downed site showing:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/content/o/a/h/oahuintergroup/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/12-step-meeting-list/includes/functions.php on line 866

The site is running on GoDaddy Linux and I believe it’s using PHP 5.3.

I checked line 866 and it’s this function:

//convert the array to UTF-8
//	array_walk_recursive($meetings, function(&$item, $key) {
//		if (!mb_detect_encoding($item, 'utf-8', true)) {
//			$item = utf8_encode($item);
//		}
//	});

I’ve commented it out and that brings the site back up and the plug-in seems to work okay. But, of course, I’m concerned.

I’m no longer involved with the website on a regular basis but the manager called me and luckily I was able to get things back up. The current team doesn’t necessarily have the skills to go into the code and admittedly PHP isn’t my strong suit either. 🙂

Thanks!

Bob
