Thanks, Phil")* I would say that this comes from the fact that you have the register globals option of your php turned on, which you shouldn't. Because of that, the option variable we use in our view overwrites the option variable that joomla uses on it end and thus you can that error. Three solutions: 1. you change that line by: $option = preg_replace('/[^A-Z0-9_\.-]/i', '', JRequest::getString('option')); 2. You edit the file option of the view product via the menu Display->Views and you change the variable $option by $optionElement to avoid the conflict. 3. You deactivate that php option, supposing that you have access to your php.ini Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8yNTYwNi1wcm9kdWN0LW9wdGlvbnMtZXJyb3I/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[plantpotphil](/forum/user/2189-plantpotphil "View plantpotphil's Profile")** - [![plantpotphil's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/2189-plantpotphil "View plantpotphil's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/2189-plantpotphil) Less More - Posts: 152 - Thank you received: 0 - - - 15 years 1 month ago - 15 years 1 month ago [\#25626](#25626) by [plantpotphil](/forum/user/2189-plantpotphil "View plantpotphil's Profile") Replied by *[plantpotphil](/forum/user/2189-plantpotphil "View plantpotphil's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Product Options Error](/forum/3-bug-report/25606-product-options-error#25626 "Hi, I have just tried adding an option to a proudct and i get the following error on the product page on the front end: ----- Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in public_html/libraries/joomla/application/component/view.php on line 628. ----- Line 628 in that file is: $option = preg_replace('/[^A-Z0-9_\.-]/i', '', $option); Any idea what's causing this?

Alternatively, what would be the repercussions of changing the *$option = preg\_replace('/\[^A-Z0-9\_\\.-\]/i', '', JRequest::getString('option'));* line? Would this impact anything else ont he site?
