I have tried three G4 sites with Php 7.1 (different templates) and all fail with error:G5 sites work with Php 7.1.
Error displaying the error page: [] operator not supported for strings: [] operator not supported for strings
Is G4 incompatible with Php 7.1? Or would it be due to an extension? For some reason, nothing is shown in the php error logs. - Last Edit: 7 years 11 months ago by Dan Walker.

- Apparently the issue is the templates. Seems as though the Gantry default template v4.1.32 is not compatible with php 7.1. Please fix ASAP.

Please note that by answering your own post you take yourself out of the MODS "unanswered posts" queue and therefore might have to wait longer for a response - it's better to edit your original post so this does not happen.
We have been fixing all the Gantry 4 templates that have this issue and we believe we have issue new releases that have address them all - so what template are you using please and is it the latest version?

- We have a number of sites where we have customized with the Gantry 4 Default Template v4.1.32, as I have already mentioned. The sites work with php 7.0, but not with php 7.1. To confirm, I have created a site with the Gantry 4 Rocket Launcher ( which only works with php 5.6), updated Joomla and again, the site works with php 7.0, but not php 7.1. I would appreciate RT updating the G4 Default Template to work with php 7.1, as you have for the other G4 templates.

It seems that one got overlooked and an update will be out in due course.
In the meantime you can fix it yourself... see screenshot. An array is being initialise as quote-quote instead of [] - php7.1 is much stricter than previous versions in this regard.

Hello,
It has been over a month since the oversight was acknowledged. Any update as to when the default G4 template will be php 7.1 compatible?
I also wanted to ask about the fix you proposed in the picture. There is a post by reggie here
www.rockettheme.com/forum/general-discus...-fix?start=0#1333963
and the proposed fix there is different from what you posted here in the picture.
**EDIT**
I have tested both proposed fixes and they both work.
The original code on line 68 looks like this:Your fix is to replace the '' with [] (left and right brackets)$ul_css = '';
The fix Reggie posted, while different, also works$ul_css = [];
So this begs the question, while both work, is there one that is considered to be more correct?$ul_css = array();

It doesn't matter which is used - they both mean the same thing... an empty array.

I'm just bimping this thread up for awareness.
I upgraded to PHP 7.1.23, Joomla 3.9.1, Gantry 4.1.37 and every single component/plugin was updated... yet I still got the error which the OP referred to: Error: [] operator not supported for strings: [] operator not supported for strings
I had to go into /templates/gantry/html/mod_roknavmenu/themes/gantry-dropdown/layout.php and apply the fix as instructed by Mr.T
I would have assumed this fix would be incorporated already, ohh well.

mustafa_s - I suspect that you updated Gantry FRAMEWORK but did not update Gantry TEMPLATE - you need to update BOTH.
The fix IS in the Gantry 4 TEMPLATE.

Joomla! 3.9.15
Diametric Template v1.8
Gantry Framework v4.1.42
it is working only with PHP 7.0.33
if I change to PHP 7.1.33
it gives a blank page
* I have changed the
rt_TEMPLATE/joomla/template/html/mod_roknavmenu/themes/gantry-fusion/layout.php
from: $ul_css = '';
to: $ul_css = array();
so the Error: [] operator not supported for strings: [] operator not supported for strings has gone
but still the page is not working!
Any suggestion will be great!
thanks in advance
