getting errors from ot_tax.php

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/wishgivi/public_html/includes/modules/order_total/ot_tax.php on line 38

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/wishgivi/public_html/includes/modules/order_total/ot_tax.php on line 39

I searched around, and installed the patch from here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56216

then reinstalled the express checkout, it still doesn't work. I get the same error message on step 2 of 3.

Can anyone help?

Here is my site:

Does this occur when using PayPal Express Checkout ? or when using another method ?

[Danielle]

This is the site that I'm working on :) It's actually happening on step 2 before a payment method is even selected! The errors are showing in the Your Total section at the very top.

And only Paypal IPN, Cheque/Money Order, and Credit Card are set up as payment options, the rest are not installed.

I THINK I have narrowed it down to the template files, I've replaced every file relating to order total and payment with no fix.

I have also tried replacing tpl_checkout_process.php, no dice.

Could there possibly be any other files contributing to this problem?

I have to mention, I did ask my developer to work on my shopping cart, to change the color of the shopping cart. Now I'm not sure if that is related to this, since I don't know which files he had to edit in order to do so. Could this have also contributed to the problem?

Okay, I think I may have found the culprit to the problem..

The database my zencart is using was transferred over from another zencart installation. Prior to installation, my developer kept saying there were problems with the database. Yet, he insisted on using it. He told me he had fixed the database. And sure enough, he did, the site worked.

But there were apparent problems It seemed as though the products had transferred over, it would show the correct # of products on the admin panel front page, but the products weren't ACTUALLY in the catalog. That led me to think that the database might be missing a fair amount of data. But I continued on with configuring my website, on the same database, and I hadn't encountered any problems, until now.

So should I try to back up everything and do a fresh installation? Danielle had suggested that to me, and I'm leaning in favor towards that. Is there any way I can back up JUST the catalog? I don't want my new installation powered by a seemingly faulty database. Again, I am really unsure of the cause. But either way, it seems like I should start from scratch.

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I hired SUPERPRG and he was able to solve the problem successfully! He was very professional and diligent in resolving the situation. Would definitely work with him in the future.

We also enjoyed working with Danielle, who was very professional and helpful.

My pleasure mohinder....
The problem was that in the template files $order variable was being used and due to its scope being global in the ot_tax.php it was getting lost

[DrByte]

So ... what exactly did you do to fix it ?
Was this the result of an incomplete upgrade? a customization? a mod?
What will he have to do during his next upgrade so that whatever you did doesn't have to be done again?

This was the problem

includes\templates\template_default\templates\_tpl_modules_categories_images.php (16): $order="select zen_categories_description.categories_id, categories_name
includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_modules_categories_images.php( 21): $order="select zen_categories_description.categories_id, categories_name
includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_modules_categories_images.php( 40): $order="select zen_categories_description.categories_id, categories_name
includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_modules_categories_images.php( 60): $order="select zen_categories_description.categories_id, categories_name
includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_modules_categories_images.php( 80): $order="select zen_categories_description.categories_id, categories_name

I changed $order to $temp_order
