Okay, let's look at line 62 of zap.php:

  if (isset($_POST[$f])) 
    ZAPwarning("The \"$field\" field cannot be processed this way. ");

What's the value of $f?  Looking above (line 44), we see that $f is
an array:

  $f = explode(",", $ZAParray['passdata']);

Since an array ($f) cannot be used as the index for another array ($_POST),
you're getting the "Illegal offset type ..." warning.
