in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla\components\com_k2\helpers\route.php on

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla\components\com_k2\helpers\route.php

The same bug here ... any solutions

Yes,

Change XAMPP to 1.7.2 rather than 1.7.3!

@Chris
Is this a php version problem?

William,

It does appear to be a php version problem.

I'd set up XAMPP on a brand new computer then added Joomla and K2. The first test threw up the error above. I reistalled both Joomla and k2 just in case, but the error was still there.

I then dropped XAMPP back to a previous version (1.7.2), reinstalled Joomla and k2 and the error went away.

I'd suggest t's an issue that'll need to be addressed by devs quickly, since hosts will upgrade soon and that could result in lots of people having problems.

This didnt make sence to me because usually there are specific things in code that are not backward compatable.
Go to a 2.2 or 2.3svn version and copy the contents from K2 paramaters from the SEF URL character replacements parameter, and past it into the same paramater where it says Array in 2.3 install paramater.
Im using 1.7.3 xampp and this fixed the error for me

The offending line of code seemed to be
$SEFReplacements = array(); in route.php
The next error was because the first error was thrown.

William,

Thanks for the advice.

It seems other people are finding a similar problem and not just in k2_content but also k2_users as well.

I'll try your suggestion later in the day since am in the midst of some heavy weight actual work at the moment.

Be Well,

CHRIS

Im not sure my answer is the correct one but it works. I have to guess theres something missing in the install file and where "Array" was put in the parameters it either means put your stuff in it, or they meant to copy the array into it by default. Im not very good with SEF
When "More Light" is shed on this subject I will post as you requested

I am no php guru but what I did was removed the SEFReplacements text and the errors disappeared. Like Mr. White suggested when more on this topic comes about there may be a better explainable solution. But for now this may open the door for more solution exploration.

Line 73 (unmodified)
$items = explode(',', $params->get('SEFReplacements', NULL));

Line 73 (modofied)
$items = explode(',', $params->get('', NULL));
