Select PHP errors

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in D:\sassco.co.uk\wwwroot\football\libraries\joomla\ html\html\select.php on line 68

Getting this in my Joomla set up at the backend when using a component. Seems to be a common problem (just Google it and you will find some threads - but remove my URLs).

Completely at a loss. Plenty of messages sent to the relevant boards, but no answers. Some are pointing out to SQL needing to be updated. I thought I'd add something here to see if anyone has any pointers.

Looking at the script (http://api.joomla.org/__filesource/f...elect.php.html)
They is no logic in the code to deal with a situation where no array is being passed to the options function.

Adding the following lines to the start of the function should stop the warning message for you without any detrimental effects:

  if( !is_array($arr) || 0 == count($arr) ) {
    return '';
  } 

so that it would become:

function options( $arr, $key = 'value', $text = 'text', $selected = null, $translate = false )
{
  if( !is_array($arr) || 0 == count($arr) ) {
    return '';
  }

  $html = '';
  
  foreach ($arr as $i => $option)
  {
    $element =& $arr[$i]; // since current doesn't return a reference, need to do this 

On a secondary note, it is just a warning message and will not stop joomla working. You should really not have warnings and error messages being output on a production site, so it would probably be preferable to just surpress this output and ignore it--one would assume it will be fixed in a later release.
