Warning: Missing argument 13 for cField::__construct() (v9)

I have a large V9 project we've just moved to a new server. The database has been duplicated from the old one, but there are errors being thrown on just one table ("client_users"):

Here are the errors shown above the page

Warning: Missing argument 13 for cField::__construct(), called in /var/www/vhosts/me.accessdomain.com/httpdocs/client_usersinfo.php on line 250 and defined in /var/www/vhosts/me.accessdomain.com/httpdocs/oc/phpfn9.php on line 1186

Notice: Undefined variable: fldvirtualsrch in /var/www/vhosts/me.accessdomain.com/httpdocs/oc/phpfn9.php on line 1202

And then this renders inside the page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method cclient_users_list::GetViewUrl() in /var/www/vhosts/me.accessdomain.com/httpdocs/oc/client_userslist.php on line 1041

I uploaded the exact same files to the old server and tried it, there is no fatal error. Everything seems to be crashing on this $fldvirtualsrch but I can't pinpoint how to repair it.

Thanks,
Chris

"Notice: undefined variable" is not a serious error; it's only a notice or warning message.

Regarding the fatal error, try to replace this in your "phpfn9.php" file:
function __construct($tblvar, $tblname, $fldvar, $fldname, $fldexp, $fldbsexp, $fldtype, $flddtfmt, $upload, $fldvirtualexp, $fldvirtual, $forceselect, $fldvirtualsrch, $fldviewtag="") {

with this:
function __construct($tblvar, $tblname, $fldvar, $fldname, $fldexp, $fldbsexp, $fldtype, $flddtfmt, $upload, $fldvirtualexp, $fldvirtual, $forceselect, $fldvirtualsrch="", $fldviewtag="") {

I think that this must be related to the server settings, and not PHPMaker. Check and compare your web server, PHP, and the database version between the old and new server.

I always like to see notices because they always drop information that leads up to the error and warnings are never ignored.

Better than just defaulting to a blank string, I'd like to find out why only the client_users page is throwing the $fldvirtualsrch error while all of the other pages aren't, or why this page is requesting it and the others aren't. I just uploaded this to our LAMPP server and are seeing no errors either.

I guess I could change the main functions file but it doesn't really solve the issue, just masks it.

Does your "client_users" list page include the basic/quick search in it?

There is a TEXT item in the fields that had quick search selected. I'll try removing all search checkboxes to see if it's got something to do with that.
