# Input field not rendering

 * Hello, I’m experiencing a weird issue where some input fields are not rendering
   in a form generated by Participants Database. I just noticed it today, but it
   hasn’t been working correctly for a while. On my site, all Participant Database
   versions past 1.7.5 is failing to render fields. The last version that works 
   is 1.7.3.2.
 * On this site, we use PHP 7.1. I’m seeing a lot of errors in the logs regarding
   string offsets, so it’s probably related to the compatibility changes in 7.1 
   with strings.
 * Here is an example from the error log:
 * PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot unset string offsets in [
   redacted]/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes/xnau_FormElement.class.
   php:1110
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finput-field-not-rendering%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks for this, this is a good report. One of the surprises that PHP 7.1 is 
   giving me!
 * Working on a fix for this.

 * The strange thing though is that this website has been on 7.1 for quite a while,
   do you have any idea why it was 1.7.5 that broke everything?

 * Yes, there were some code changes in that version that affected this. The current
   release should fix it.
