This article is provided to assist if PHP error 256 is encountered during development and testing.

During conversion of several applications from PHP Runner v10.4 to v10.91, we encountered this error:
img alt

With assistance from support, we determined the cause of this issue related to the table name of the "Application Settings" table. This is the table that stores user preferences when specific features such as "Resizable Table columns" etc

Complete the following process to investigate and correct the error:

  1. In the Pages section of PHP Runner, click the "settings" button next to the "List page".
  2. Review the "Application settings table" section.
  3. Ensure that the table name displayed exists in the database, or just select "Create new" from the list.
  4. Click "Apply to All Tables"

This worked for us and resolved this issue.
