Question

I am getting the following error in my CodeIgniter install which I cant seem to solve:

A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Notice

Message: Array to string conversion

Filename: helpers/form_helper.php

Line Number: 515

Here is my code

 <div class="control-group">
                <?php $attributes = array('class' => 'control-label'); echo form_label(lang('settings_dateofbirth'),$attributes); ?>

                <span class="field_error"><?php echo $settings_dob_error; ?></span>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
            </div>

Can someone explain what this relates to?

Answer 1

The error refers to the form_label. The second parameter should be a string while the third can be an array.

 form_label(lang('settings_dateofbirth'), 'dateofbirth', $attributes);
