Uninitialized string offset: 0

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.0-8+etch11
 * MySQL version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch6-log
 * URL: http://www.sturmarchiv.ch

Dear all,

Sometimes i get the following error in my wiki:

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /home/www/vhosts/sturmarchiv.ch/httpdocs/includes/parser/Parser.php on line 2143

It will be displayed instead of the Site content. I already upgraded to 1.13.1 but the error will not disapear. Also some articles will have wrong characters in it or are completely unreadable, but when i try to edit the page everything looks fine.

Any Ideas? —Soloo 10:35, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Dear all,
 * I have exactly the same problem on two MediaWikis. Both are up to date, running on Debian Etch and Ubuntu HH Server with latest dotdeb Apache2 + PHP + MySQL. The problem don't want to disappear :/
 * I've tried almost every version of PHP 5.2.x (official, unofficial, compiled from source, combined apt repositories) and some of MySQL server versions. I've tried both DB storage (InnoDB, MyISAM) and type (binary, UTF-8) options in MediaWiki installer on completely fresh install. I've tried every 1.1x version of MediaWiki. But PHP Notices were still there and garbaged unreadable text also (f.e. {{{{TENAME}} in title). It was perfect about one year ago, I don't know where the problem is and I'm hopeless now. I'd like to use MediaWiki because I love it, but it's difficult with this bug. Please help, thank you

Error when embedding two special pages

 * MediaWiki version: 1.11.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.6 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67-log
 * URL: http://recycleabike.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=1608

I am having a problem when trying to embed two special pages into my main page. I want to embed both "Special:Categories" and "Special:Uncategorizedpages". I edited LocalSettings.php to allow these two pages to be embedded. If I embed one or the other on its own, it comes out fine. However, when I embed both into the same page, I get an error - uintelligible text where the "Special:Categories" page should be embedded.

Please help. Thanks. —Mrengy 22:21, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Extend the searchbox with text messages
I have to extend the search portlet with some links and text. For the beginning, I've put some hard coded text in myskin.php (yes, it's evil... ;-)) Now I have to make it multilanguage-capable, so I try to fix this hack. But how? I'd like to get a variable in the skin which I can trigger by a system text from the MediaWiki namespace. Something like msg('foo') ?> that can be replaced by MediaWiki:Foo. Thanks für any hints (I'm more the php copy/paster, so please be merciful ;-)) --Elya 10:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
