But I´m using 'php 5.2.6' I and v.5.2.9 is the latest stable release

Or it´s a plugin issue that could be fixed by the plugin author then?

anyway it´s a single plugin with this bug, I won´t bother viewing this in online list as there is no other side effects

This is caused from a bug in the MultiByte extension provided on some hosts with PHP . The mb_substr function is performing incorrectly on some versions of the package.

To resolve this issue permanently please talk to your host to upgrade the MultiByte to the latest version available.

To resolve this issue temporarily, or if your host is unable to upgrade, please apply the follow fix:

In inc/functions_online.php find:

PHP Code:

$filename = my_substr($split_loc[0], -my_strpos(strrev($split_loc[0]), "/")); 


replace with

PHP Code:

$filename = substr($split_loc[0], -my_strpos(strrev($split_loc[0]), "/"));

Thank you for your continued understand and cooperation,
MyBB Group

After performing the 1.4.4 to 1.4.6 upgrade I encountered the same issue with unknown location. The first part of the solution is impractical in my case as getting the host to do anything on a shared server is like pulling teeth sometimes. I am happy to report that performing the recommended edit to the functions_online.php file solved the issue.

For those in the same hosting situation as mine I recommend noting this edit/fix so that when you upgrade your MyBB in the future you can again resolve the issue.

thank you very much.

Still the issue repeating in Mybb 1406

[MattRogowski]

Yes, it started in 1.4.5, 1.4.6 was just a security release, and this won't be fixed in MyBB anyway because it's to do with the host.

I am getting this problem since upgrading to 1.4.6 as well. I tried the two code fixes described in this thread, but neither seems to fix the problem. You can see the problem here:
