If you have installed phpBB3, and began to play around with it’s functionality, you may have noticed an error come up when accessing private messages. The error usually occurs when you click on the user control panel, then go to Private messages, then Inbox. The error message may also occur if you try to click on a private message to view. The error is usually displayed at the top of the page. Below is an example of the error.
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions_privmsgs.php on line 1818: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed [phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 3824: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions.php:3247)
The second message may display multiple times. This error occurred to me when working on Psychcomp.com’s forums. After searching for a solution, I found one that solved the problem. Below is a simple solution.
In your text editor, open your phpbb3 directory, then the includes directory, then functions_privmsgs.php.
Near line 1830, you will see the following syntax:
unset($rowset[$id]);
Replace this with the following:
unset($rowset[$i]);
Now, save and upload the file to your server. As it is a core file, you do not need to update your site’s theme in any way.
Now when you click on private messages, you will no longer see the error messages.
Note: this is for phpBB3 version 3.0.5. I am not sure if this error occurs in older versions of phpBB3.
