I have this theme that now loads a blank page after host upgraded to PHP 7.2. I'm not good with PHP so I need help converting this line of code with PHP 7.2 Thanks.

The code

if ( ! function_exists( 'yit_button_style' ) ) {
/**
* Add button style to shortcode button.
*
* @param $button
*
* @return array
*
* @since 1.0.0
*/
function yit_button_style( $button = array() ) {
$button['flat'] = __('Black','yit');
$button['alternative'] = __('Alternative', 'yit');
$button['white'] = __('White','yit');
return $button;
}
}

Error logs

Please can you paste the code here? It could be of help to someone else in the future.

This happens when a function is expecting an array as its parameter but is receiving a string.
you should convert d string to array.

(*NOTE in PHP 7.1 and below this did not result in fatal errors )

ADD THIS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE FUNCTION

if(!is_array($button))
{ $button = (array)$button; }

Thanks, I did make an adjustment but it lead to another error

This is what my code looks like:

if ( ! function_exists( 'yit_button_style' ) ) {
/**
* Add button style to shortcode button.
*
* @param $button
*
* @return array
*
* @since 1.0.0
*/

function yit_button_style( $button = array() ) {
if(!is_array($button)) {
$button = (array)$button; }
$button['flat'] = __('Black','yit');
$button['alternative'] = __('Alternative', 'yit');
$button['white'] = __('White','yit');
return $button;
}
}

I'm not sure if I did that correctly. Thanks for helping.
