I am running Drupal 6.17. I receive "the white page of death" when I try to load the "Primary Links" page.

Here is the exact error I receive - PHP Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home//public_html/includes/common.inc on line 1596, referer: http://www..com/admin/build/menu

I have tried disabling all module - third party and core-optional. But I still experience the same problem.

i have the same problem, but on another server is all OK (with the same plugins and versions).
I think its problem in php or apache configuration.

The site is on a Linux server running Apache 2 and php5. It would be nice if we can get some sort of a solution, because while this is happening I am unable to modify the primary menu links other than by creating content, which is not what I am trying to do.

Bump. isn't there anyone else who can pitch in with a possible solution to this?

A Google search shows that some people have this problem related to the PHP version. Are you running PHP 5.2.x or 5.3.x?

I searched Drupal.org for your error and found this: http://drupal.org/node/739158. Follow the debugging instructions that are contained in that thread, and post the output here.

Doug,

Thank you for the link. From there I went to http://drupal.org/node/228435#comment-782632 The patch did its job. I am again able to access the main menu page.

BTW, I run Drupal 6.17 on Apache 2 and php 5.2.11.

This is what changed from:

function l($text, $path, $options = array()) {
  global $language;

  // Merge in defaults.
  $options += array(
      'attributes' => array(),
      'html' => FALSE,
    );

to

function l($text, $path, $options = array()) {
  global $language;

  // Check for invalid options, e.g. null
  if (!is_array($options)) $options = array();

  // Merge in defaults.
  $options += array(
      'attributes' => array(),
      'html' => FALSE,
    );

Thank you for this post. I was having the same problem with my Navigation menu, and this fixed it. I'm using Pressflow, so the problem exists there too.
