Array
is how PHP represents an array when it is converted to a string:
echo array( /* anything in here */ ); // output: Array
Fortunately for you, PHP doesn’t really like converting arrays to strings, so it will give an error like this:
PHP Notice: Array to string conversion in /somefile.php on line 345
Usually these PHP notices are silenced by default. To see them, you should enable WordPress debugging mode with WP_DEBUG
. Frankly, you should have WP_DEBUG
enabled any time you are developing something with WordPress :-).
Once you’ve enabled debugging mode, run your code and check the debug.log
. You should see an array to string conversion notice from PHP, which will tell you where this came from.
Like @Sisir, I don’t see any problems with your code. I suspect that the array is being output by a function hooked to one of the actions or filters called by get_the_post_thumbnail()
: 'post_thumbnail_size'
, 'begin_fetch_post_thumbnail_html'
, 'end_fetch_post_thumbnail_html'
, and 'post_thumbnail_html'
.
