It is related to this line, $rc[] is line 178

        $rc[] = array (
            'directory'     => $testdir,
            'exists'         => is_dir($dir),
            'writable'         => is_writable($dir),
        );
    }

The PHP version is 7.1.6.
My /admin/general.php file is 100% identical to a clean 4.7.8.

If I declare $rc = array(); INSIDE the foreach, the error disappears and /admin/general.php can be accessed again.

It doesn't fix it completely, the list of directories that it checks for write permission is only 1 folder long, only the /var/upgrade folder.

Hi,

It is very strange.

Do you have
$rc = array();
in the line 164?

Thank you.
