Temp fix if using mysql application/config/stikked.php $config['db_driver'] = 'mysqli';

and for lines 129,151,208,280,297,335 in system/libraries/Session/drivers/Session_database_driver.php I just inserted the following before each function as a temp fix.

[\ReturnTypeWillChange]

*there is still other things broke, but this is a start.

Thanks for that info on getting rid of errors. That was very helpful.

After doing those changes, I found that the captcha showed a broken image. Switching it to reCaptcha fixed that.

Then I found that when submitting a new paste, it threw another error. The fix is to edit system/core/Input.php (uppercase i in the filename) and edit line 568, changing it so it says "$which = FILTER_DEFAULT;" instead of setting it to NULL.

[elyograg]

Has the repo been updated so it works with PHP 8.1 without the manual code edits that are mentioned on this issue?

[elyograg]

There have been no commits pushed to this repo in nearly 3 years, so I think that no changes have been made.

[jlpoolen]

I, too, am having error messages such as the above using PHP 8.1.12. I've used this software on several machines for several years, but not recently. It looks like PHP 8.1.x has changes that have broken this project's code. Alas.

[tcreek]

Abandonware at this point

[jlpoolen]

I think I fixed most of the problems, thought there may be one lingering, but not a show-stopper, just occasional warning messages as it renders.
I use this almost daily... love it, especially for keeping a searchable log of my sessions with ChatGPT. I think I forked the project, but I am so clumsy when it comes to working with GitHub and pushing something back up, the security precautions really make it difficult.

[tcreek]

There are sources out there which will tell you what changes you need to make to update the code. Some will even automatically run through it and make the changes for you. Looks like Code Igniter needs to be updated also

[tcreek]

It has CodeIgniter 3.1.9 which is for PHP v5.6.- v7.3. Version 4 is out and good for PHP v7.4 and up to v8.2

[jlpoolen]

It appears I have already pushed my changes up to GitHub:

ares /usr/local/src/Stikked # git push origin master
Username for 'https://github.com': jlpoolen
Password for 'https://jlpoolen@github.com':
Everything up-to-date
ares /usr/local/src/Stikked # date
Sun Aug 18 21:31:28 PDT 2024
ares /usr/local/src/Stikked #

So, anyone who wants to give it a try is welcomed. I cannot provide warranty service, I just hacked until it worked again.

Please note that the project was continued here: https://github.com/MercanoGlobal/SNIP It's a major rewrite that should fix all issues in the previous versions and adds a lot of new improvements like file uploads for pastes.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I think it more accurate to state the Stikked project has been forked into a project named SNIP. https://github.com/claudehohl/Stikked has no mention of the Stikked project being continued.

Can the database for Stikked be used by SNIP? I have several year's worth of pastes which are invaluable and I'm not eager to maintain both a Stikked and a SNIP instance.

[MercanoGlobal]

@jlpoolen It should be compatible with older releases, as from what I remember, the only database-related change we made, was to add the file column, for file uploads. This is mentioned here: https://github.com/MercanoGlobal/SNIP?tab=readme-ov-file#upgrade-notice

You should first create a backup, test the upgrade on a development instance, and see if any issues appear.
