Readability.php fatal error

#1

Hello,

I would like to report an issue I found in the latest version of Readability.php. The error I got is the following:

PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: preg_match(): Argument #2 ($subject) must be of type string, array given in /vendor/fivefilters/readability.php/src/Readability.php:372

The $parsed['@context'] seems to be an array instead of being a string. Adding an extra condition right before the erroneous line might fix the issue:
!is_string($parsed['@context']) ||

Can you fix this in a future update?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
We just found another fatal error that occurs from time to time for us:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: fivefilters\Readability\Readability::textSimilarity(): Argument #1 ($textA) must be of type string, null given, called in /vendor/fivefilters/readability.php/src/Readability.php on line 2143 and defined in /vendor/fivefilters/readability.php/src/Readability.php:994

Can you check this one too?
Thanks.

Hi,
Here’s a third error from our logs:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: fivefilters\Readability\Readability::postProcessContent(): Argument #1 ($article) must be of type fivefilters\Readability\Nodes\DOM\DOMDocument, bool given, called in /vendor/fivefilters/readability.php/src/Readability.php on line 258 and defined in /vendor/fivefilters/readability.php/src/Readability.php:2186

Thanks for reporting this. We’re going to look into the errors. Are you able to provide an article URL or HTML file that results in this error in Readability.php?

#5

Unfortunately, no, because the URLs are provided by our users and we didn’t store them in our logs.

#6

Just a note to say we’ve added fixes for these in the latest commit. If you notice any other issues, please do let us know:

Thanks again for the bug reports.
