Hello,

i figured out a bug in webform.
My hoster switched to PHP 5.4 and since then I get the following error on my basic site with added webform.

I have the date module installed to put a calandar element in webform.
Warning: Illegal string offset 'day' in form_process_date() (line 2961 of includes\form.inc.

So the form_process_date() function is part of the webform module.

does anyone have a clue to fix that issue?

thanks so much

Title: PHP 5.4: Illegal string offset in form_process_date() on line 2961 in includes\form.inc » PHP 5.4: Webform and Date components: Illegal string offset in form_process_date() on line 2961 in includes\form.inc

Here is an update related to the problem.

I found out that the described problem is only there when PHP 5.4x is running.

In previous versions of PHP 5 , for example 5.38 webform doesnt have any problem.

it seems that there is another handling of date related stuff in PHP v5.4x so webform is creating an error.

Ive taken out the backtrace on month and year, as they are the same. any thoughts how to get around this problem welcome.
