The other thread is basically the same code generating a slightly different error, hence I've closed that thread as it's the same answer.
 
Well, I'm the developer of that. I used the includeFile callback, and $highlight is a variable I use in the PHP file called into the page node. The PHP file does not itself interact with XenForo. What does the error mean?
 
There isn't an "includeFile" callback included with XenForo. Not sure what you're referring to there.

It's not a XenForo troubleshooting issue, it's an issue with your code so I have moved this into the Development Discussions forum. To debug it we would need to see your code, without it it's not possible to advise what the problem might be.

This code here:
PHP:
    // Determine if row highlighting should be enabled
    if(count($validSelections)<=2 && count(array_unique($spec))!=1 && $fields[$row] != 'reviews' && $fields[$row] != 'link_site') {
        $highlight="specHighlight";
    } else {
        unset($highlight);
    }

Instead of:

PHP:
else {
        unset($highlight);
    }

Change it to:

PHP:
else {
        $highlight = '';
    }
 
Is there a reason I can't unset my own variables?
You can unset a variable (although you don't need to as the garbage collector will do it for you at some point) but you will have to re-declare it, by assigning a value to it, if you wish to use it again.
As for your other errors, you have removed your code sample above so can only guess you either have some empty arrays or other unset variables are being called.

Off to party now...

The $reviewURLNum error on line 341 is due to you not assigning it a value prior to attempting to increment it.

As for link_site and reviews on line 269, those array keys do not seem to exist in $fieldNames but do in $fields[$row]
Perhaps on line 206 you should break out of the foreach if your check to see that the keys exist in $categoryBreaks fails.

At least that is my understanding of things after having a few drinks and without knowing for sure what your sql query actually returns.
 
Right off the bat I can tell you that your $myTitle error is because you have not assigned it a value (such as $myTitle = '') prior to attempting to add another string to it.
$showAlert_Random must be taken out of the if statement since it is checked for further down the file and therefore might not have been declared.
 
This may be the last one:

This may be the last one:
And probably the most difficult to figure out since you've made changes to the specs file and so no longer know whats on line 345.
Also, would have to know what the sql query returned in order to figure out how many keys the array has.
Then maybe my little grey cells just might be able to guess at the problem :)
 
Line 345 is:
Code:
                        $spec[$column] .= "<a class=\"specialButton sB00 sB-sm sB-block sB-left sB-marginTop review$reviewNum\" href=\"" . $reviewURL . "\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"></i>&nbsp; " . $reviewSiteName . "</a>";

Which array do you need?
