<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>I get this error after upgrading to PHP 7.4:</p>
<blockquote><p>Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in menu_tree_add_active_path() (line 625 of .../menu_block/menu_block.module).<br>
Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in menu_tree_add_active_path() (line 625 of .../menu_block/menu_block.module).</p></blockquote>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>Create a menu block with a menu on a page that Anonymous users can access, but where they do not have access to any item in the menu. </p>
<p>In this case, <code>menu_tree_check_access()</code> will filter out every single menu item, and <code>menu_tree_all_data()</code> will return an empty array. </p>
<p>This passes that empty array into <code>menu_tree_add_active_path($tree);</code></p>
<p>The error will occur when it calls the following:</p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br> </span><span style="color: #FF8000">// Grab any menu item to find the menu_name for this tree.<br> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$menu_item </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">current</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$tree</span><span style="color: #007700">);<br> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$tree_with_trail </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">menu_tree_page_data</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$menu_item</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'link'</span><span style="color: #007700">][</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'menu_name'</span><span style="color: #007700">]);<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
<p>This is because <code>current()</code> returns <code>FALSE</code> if the parameter array is empty.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Check if <code>current()</code> returns FALSE (which it does for an empty menu tree).</p>
