Hi all:
I yesterday upgraded to WordPress 3.3.1, and ever since, when I access the Media Library in the admin page, I get this warning near every video file I have uploaded:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument\n in [path to my wordpress installation]/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2447
That line belongs to the function wp_ext2type(), and it compares a file extension to an array of authorized extensions. I finally managed to trace this error to the fact that, when called to check a video file, the second argument passed to it isn’t an array, but the string “video/webm”…
…which happens to be added by the “minimatica_mime_types()” function to the list of allowed MIME types. I added some debugging code to that function, and the array $types that this function receives is of the form:
'audio' => ('ac3', 'aif'...), 'video' => ('avi', 'mpg', 'mov')
So one could certainly see how just adding:
$types['webm'] = 'video/webm';
Like the Minimatica function does, could add the wrong data to the format… And yet:
1) The WordPress documentation says that the above is exactly the way to go to add new MIME types.
2) The error happens in the wp_ext2type() function, which has nothing to do with MIME types. (I added some debugging code to minimatica_file_types(), and it never got called).
3) This error does NOT happen in my development machine, which runs PHP 5.3.5. It only happens in the server, which is running PHP 5.2.17.I know there’s an easy workaround for this (disable that function), but I can’t help but wonder: is this a bug with Minimatica, or with WordPress? What’s going on?
