Warning: array_slice(): The first argument should be an array

[carnaticwm]

Greetings,

I upgraded to 1.5-gamma 2005-02-04

I am not sure if this issue is occuring only because of the upgrade...

In the dashboard, am getting message

...

It seems that error is occuring because of the following code

...
$rss = @fetch_rss('​http://planet.wordpress.org/feed/');
var_dump($rss);
if ( $rss ) {

FWIW, I have a fresh install of 1.5-gamma 2005-02-04 and I am not seeing the same thing.

Am using 1.5-gamma 2005-02-04 as well

Added the following code after @fetch_rss

echo is_array($rss->items) ? 'Array' : 'not an Array';

Results
1) ​http://wordpress.org/development/feed/ >>> Array
2) ​http://planet.wordpress.org/feed/ >>> not an Array

Therefore, maybe instead of using

if ( $rss ) {

if ( is_array($rss->items) ) {

should be used

and an else added to state

feed doesnot seem to be valid !

The code seems to display valid html for the first time of the day !

The html displayed is ​http://mosquito.wordpress.org/file_download.php?file_id=266&type=bug - From the second time the $rss->items doesnot seem to be a valid array !

I do not have a fresh install and am getting the same thing, have been using the nightlies for a couple months now.

Seems to be working today.. could it be the feeds themselves?

Wait no, its working sometimes and other times its not..

I'm not sure why it isn't working, but changing:

if ( $rss ) {

to:

if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {

as with the first call to fetch_rss() stops things breaking further. I'm fairly sure this is a better way to error check here, so the change should be made anyway.
