When updating from php 7.3 to php 7.4, one of my sites running Chimera displays the following errors:
Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /.../plugins/system/gantry/functions.php on line 44
Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /.../plugins/system/gantry/functions.php on line 45
Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /.../plugins/system/gantry/functions.php on line 41
This is the text of lines 41-45 of functions.php:
for ($path = trim($path), $slash = strstr(PHP_OS, 'WIN') ? '\/' : '/', $retArray = array(), $str = $temp = "", $x = 0; $char = @$path{$x}; $x++) {
if (!strstr($slash, $char)) $temp .= $char; elseif ($temp) {
$str .= $temp;
$retArray[$temp] = $str . ($endSlash ? $slash{0} : '');
$str .= $slash{0};

It sounds like you have not update Gantry and the template to latest versions.
If you are using Gantry 4 then you must stick with that and the g4 version of Chimera (don't update to Gantry 5 and don't use G5 version of Chimera).

I updated to Gantry 5 quite some time ago. I updated Joomla and extensions prior to changing php on my host.
Joomla 3.10.5
Chimera (v2.0.2 / g5_chimera) - Last Edit: 2 years 2 months ago by knyghtlyarmes.

Ok, and you don't have the old Gantry 4 or any g4 templates still installed? I say this because that error is usually out of date software.
btw - Your subscription appears to have expired. Support does require a current subscription.

Thanks for the responses. I was not aware I had to un-install Gantry 4 after I updated to 5.
I have purchased a number of templates over the years. The last couple said the price included lifetime updates and support for the template. Am I posting in the wrong place?

You must have purchased those on a different account since this account only shows a joomla template club subscription that expired in 2013.
So, please use the account on which you purchased the lifetime subscriptions.
You don’t have to uninstall g4 and it’s template if you update them to latest versions- but the error message tells me that you have not done so.

MrT,
You'll be happy to know I found the account with the Chimera purchase. I assure you I am running the latest version of Gantry 5, Chimera and Joomla 3. I also found the error: for some reason one of the Gantry 4 plugins was still active. I disabled it and the errors disappeared. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
