PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: trim()

  • Using php8.1 along with the Constant Contact integration that comes with CF7.

    I am getting the below error when attempting to submit a form where I have a select in use so users can select their state instead of typing it in. I have copied/pasted that input below. When the data is posted to the server, the your-address-state is posted as a string. When CF7 is processing the data to create the $submission->posted_data in at about /includes/submission.php:319 that string is converted into an array with $value = (array) $value;. Later on down the line the Constant Contact module calls the add_street_address function where the error occurs.

    In the interim, I will probably just allow users to type in their state or rollback to a previous version of php.

    [select* your-address-state include_blank "Alabama""Alaska""Arizona""Arkansas""California""Colorado""Connecticut""Delaware""Florida""Georgia""Hawaii""Idaho""Illinois""Indiana""Iowa""Kansas""Kentucky""Louisiana""Maine""Maryland""Massachusetts""Michigan""Minnesota""Mississippi""Missouri""Montana""Nebraska""Nevada""New Hampshire""New Jersey""New Mexico""New York""North Carolina""North Dakota""Ohio""Oklahoma""Oregon""Pennsylvania""Rhode Island""South Carolina""South Dakota""Tennessee""Texas""Utah""Vermont""Virginia""Washington""Washington D.C.""West Virginia""Wisconsin""Wyoming"]

    Where can we see the website in question?

    I already rolled the other site back to php7.4 to keep it working. But I have setup https://cf7test.w101.betadp.com/ using the theme Twenty Twenty-Two and the only plugin installed is Contact Form 7. Once setting up a new application in Constant Contact and adding the API details to CF7, the same error ends up in the error log.

    When submitting a test, the ajax call will return a 500 status code along with the “There has been a critical error on this website.” error that WordPress displays.

    @takayukister I wanted to ensure that you saw my last response with a link to a site where this can be tested. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help any way with the error.

    I have confirmed the problem and will fix it in the next release. Sorry for my late reply.
