error when trying to send private message

Confirmed sigthing on Lamp stack

Fedora Core 1
Apache 2.x
Mysql 4.x
PHP 5.0x

There are a few links to this form. Which ones are broken?

I'm getting this error when I click on the "Write to author" link at the bottom of a comment. The link that gives the error is http://localhost/privatemsg/msgto/1.

Using Drupal 4.7 beta 4, Privatemsg (4.7.0, 08/12/2005 - 00:27), Fedora core 4, Apache 2, MySQL 4.1, PHP5.

Am getting same error, rolled back to PHP 4 and the error message is no longer generated but the "To" field is still not populated.

Confirm - I'm getting this error too - and am on latest version of module with latest 4.7-CVS as of today

$msg->recipient = db_result(db_query("SELECT name FROM {users} WHERE uid = '%d'", $arg));

I think that's the line in question. $msg is an array in this case... But it needs to be an object.

So before switch($op) above it you need to put $msg = (object)($msg);

Changing:
$msg->recipient = db_result(db_query("SELECT name FROM {users} WHERE uid = '%d'", $arg));

to:

$msg = (object)($msg);
$msg->recipient = db_result(db_query("SELECT name FROM {users} WHERE uid = '%d'", $arg));

resolves issue.

A patched privatemsg.module which addresses both this issue and the one stated at here can be found at http://drupal.org/node/60903

I have included this change in 67612.
