I installed a second copy of zenphoto on my server in another directory. Zenphoto version 1.4.2.4 [10045] (Official Build)
I am able to set all the text fields with no problems on version 1.4.2.4 [10045].
I have this version set for auto update, so I guess I will have to wait for 1.4.3. Once updated I will compare the OPTIONS table of each database (if this database continues to work after the upgrade).

Unfortunately, the error you are getting is from a generally used function, so the calling sequence is probably what is wrong. For these cases we need preferably a stack trace of the error. That may be possible to configure in your PHP. If not that then as much detail as to what was happening as possible.
Great, we finally got a clue to what this is related! Probably still quite unique to your server as we neither heard nor encountered this anywhere before.

I bet some fields should be labbeled as null and my database is missing those null's

Set to "auto update" via your host's installer? Note that we frequently get reports about issues with these installers especially regarding upgrades.

I figured out my problem. I am not sure if this is supossed to happen or if it is a bug. Maybe someone else can verify.
In the OPTIONS>GENERAL tab, the only language I had selected was HTTP_Accept_Language
Once I selected America also, everything is working.
I can now set my gallery title and other options without loosing them after hitting apply.
Is this not the case? I don't want any flags on my webpage.

In the meantime, I will select only the HTTP_Accept_language and make sure I add AMERICA before making any text /options changes.
