Hi I am testing PHP 7.2 and I am seeing PHP Warnings: A non-numeric value encountered in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/types/vendor/toolset/toolset-common/inc/toolset.function.helpers.php on line 193

Hope you can fix in next version?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Could you please confirm which Types plugin version you are using and where exactly you see this warning?

Could you please send me debug information that will help us to investigate your issue.

Using Types Version: 2.2.22 and the error is shown in the server error.log and not in WordPress it self. I think there was a change in PHP 7.1 in this area.

Ok but do you have any idea when the warning added to your error log - I mean when the warning generated while accessing any page or post in backend or fronntend?

[bobA-2]

Based on how often it appears in the error.log I would presume it is also in the frontend. Cannot not be more precise than that I am afraid.

Ok thanks.

In order to debug this issue further I need duplicator package of your site.

Could you please send me copy of your site. With the following link you will find more details how you can share duplicator package with us:

As it is a big site and I think I can replicate the issue on a more basic clean install. I would like to do that instead if that is ok with you?

I have definitely confirmed that is an issue when using PHP7.1 or above. Nothing in error.log on PHP 7.0

And I think it is related to a view with a date and time query

fieldname is a number between TODAY(), FUTURE_DAY()
AND
fieldname is a number greater than NOW()

[bobA-2]

To be more specific it is the fieldname is a number between TODAY(), FUTURE_DAY() that causes the error. So something in PHP 7.1 or greater that requires a change I think.

Ok - I've PHP 7.2 installed on my localhost machine. I just wanted to know here - the field for which you are adding the filter is custom field or it's publish date?

[bobA-2]

It is custom types Date field. (Input date and time)

[Minesh]

What if you try to use the UNSIGNED option when you add the query filter.

Please check following image:

Does this makes any difference?

[bobA-2]

Unsigned option does not make difference no

Is a number between today and future day gives the error but no error if query just set to equal to today

[Minesh]

Ok - as I remember you have clean install to test this issue - correct?

Could you please send me duplicator copy of your test site.

Well - the warning was appearing because you didnt enter any value to future day filter.

Please check following screenshot:

I've added the 1 as future day value to input box and I do not see any warnings now.

[bobA-2]

Oh I see. So I did not notice that missing before new PHP version notified it. Well thanks a lot for clearing that up Minesh.
