getting error msg from ot_tax.php

error msg reads:
Warning: reset(); Passed variable is not an array or object i ot_tax.php on line 38

this appears on step 2 of 3 payment information

i have taxes set up as follows:
admin / locations/taxes/zone definitions: florida

admin / locations/taxes/tax classes: taxable goods

admin / locations/taxes/tax rates: priority - 1, tax class - taxable goods, zone - florida, tax rate - 6%

admin / configuration / my store:

Country United States
Zone Florida
Display Prices wtih Tax false
Display Prices with Tax in Admin false
Basis of Product tax shipping
basis of shipping tax shipping
sales tax display status 1

I tried once from a shipping address in Florida and once from a shipping address in Texas and get the same error both times. I can't figure out where I've made my mistake.
Any suggestions?

Had same problem. Patching with the latest paypal payment module files fixed it...

This link to the current PayPal Patches might be of help ...

I'm having a similar problem. I just installed the paypal patch and it didn't fix anything.. :(

For giggles and grins ... make sure you downloaded the most recent patch ...

Then reload all of the files to your site ...

Uninstall and Reinstall and configure ...

Close your browser ... clear your cache ...

Now give it a try ...

If it still happens, try switching to Classic Template ... does this work now?

What if a site is getting this error and not even using Paypal Express?

OK, I tried all of the above. Even tried it in IE where I've never gone to this site before and still no luck. I did try switching templates but the error remained. The error is on step 2 of the checkout process. In addition to the error, the Sub-total and Total show as $0.00.

Another thing, if I turn off the taxes in the order total module, the errors disappear, but the subtotal and total remain at $0.00. We do need the taxes to work, but I just wanted to see if turning it off would solve the problem even, but it only partially fixed it.

I actually think that I'm going to do a clean install today in a subdirectory and see what happens.

Hmmm...something is really buggy here...I just did a clean install with the demo products, didn't change any settings at all. Added a product to my cart, and then on the account creation page, entered all my info. When I hit submit the page refreshed. So I entered my info again, this time it gave me an error message saying I already had an account. So I tried to login, and the page refreshed. Tried this several times, same thing kept happing. Clicked the checkout link, and it brought me back to the login screen, where again when I tried to login the screen simply refreshed and nothing else happened.

I then uninstalled, reinstalled again, this time without the demo products, created a test product, added it to my cart, and the same thing happened at the account creation/login page!

What could be causing this? I have never had this happen before. And could it somehow be related to the other problem in this thread?

Thanks!

Oh and I did receive a welcome e-mail both times, and my customer account did show up in the store...

Check your Session settings ... what happens if you turn off the Recreate Session?

Some servers are not set up right for this safety to run correctly ...

Ah thanks, that fixed that problem :)

OK, so yes, the clean install works great. So the problem is somewhere in the files. But I really don't know where. I've already tried replacing the entire admin and the entire includes folder with the original files and the error was still there

Try replacing the /includes/modules/order_total directory and /includes/languages/english/modules/order_total directory ...

Then for giggles and grins, run through the Modules ... Order Totals ... and make sure anything you are not using is not installed ... as in click on it and hit Remove ...

Anything you are using ... hit Edit and jot down your settings ... hit Cancel ... hit Remove ... hit Install ... and reconfigure ...

OK, tried that, but no luck. The only ones installed are Shipping, Sub-total, Tax, and Total. I removed them and reinstalled them after replacing all the order-total files, but no change. The only thing that does change is that if I remove the tax order total module, the error disappears at step 2 of checkout, but the sub-total and total still show $0.00.

I don't know if this would help at all, but if I continue on in the checkout process, on step 3, there is no longer anything in my cart. But if I click on the shopping cart link, everything that is supposed to be there is there. Also, the shipping rates are based on weight, and they are being calculated correctly in step 1. So somewhere between step 1 and step 2 it seems there is a corrupted file? Can anyone point me to any specific files I should be looking at?

Also, I notice that in the Who's Online area of the admin, it does show what is in my cart and the total correctly as I go through the checkout process, even though on the customer end it shows as $0.00.

Hello, I don't recall ever doing anything to the files except for installing mods and small design changes.

However, I did hire a developer to convert my design to zen cart. He may have done something to the code, but I cannot get ahold of him ATM.

Which files could possibly be causing these errors? Aside from the obvious files in the order_total folder?

First make sure that you have the most recent patch installed:

Next, go to the Modules ... Payments ...

Write down your settings then remove and install and configure again ...
