          Description

          When accessing moodle2/admin/blocks.php I received approximately 375 instances of the following notice, after which the page appears to load as expected:

          Notice: Array to string conversion in lib/textlib.class.php on line 785

          1. Time Memory Function Location
            1 0.0007 174440 {main}

            ( ) ../blocks.php:0
            2 1.3495 29669772 collatorlib::asort( ) ../blocks.php:228
            3 1.3496 29669912 Collator->asort( ) ../textlib.class.php:785

          I believe this may be because I am running Moodle 2.3 on PHP 5.4. Full specs:

          • Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)
          • Apache 2.2.22
          • MySQL 5.5.24
          • PHP PHP 5.4.4-2

            wow, it tries to sort arrays of arrays, we need to use $sortflag REGULAR because our asort now defaults STRING comparison

            SORT_REGULAR is not locale aware, I had to rewrite the sorting a bit more, there do not seem to be other places affected by this.

            thanks a lot for the report!

            • English
            • Czech
            • Japanese
            • Chinese mandarin (Taiwanese)
              All seemed to be in alphabetical order and I encountered no problems.
