public static function getScriptNameFromUrl ( $url )
{
$path = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
$len = strlen($path);

Hi,

When adding a new payment method I got a http 500 fatal error.

Can you look into this issue?

Kind regards,

Hi,

This error comes from this code: $path{$len-1}
This is not valid in recent versions of PHP. It should be $path[$len-1] instead.

There was actually this code in the old versions of the Platron plugin which hasn't been included in HikaShop for years and which latest version can be found here:
github.com/HikaShop/hikashoppayment-platron
So either update the plugin or uninstall it if you're not using it and you won't have this error.
