[dominiquegerber]

Please provide the following details.

• Operating System: Linux
• PHP Version: 8.2.15
• php-mysql-replication Version: <7.0.1>
• *mysql version (SELECT VERSION();): 10.3.39-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.20.04.2-log

Steps required to reproduce the problem.

Decoding of a date field.

Expected Result.

The decoded date field

Actual Result.

• Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, bool given in Event/RowEvent/RowEvent.php:718*

Analysis

The offending line in RowEvent.php : if (array_sum(DateTime::getLastErrors()) > 0) {

which produces the (fatal) error

> array_sum expects its parameter to be an array
> DateTime::getLastErrors() on the other hand returns either an array, or a boolean (false).
> 

This is due to a change in the return type of DateTime::getLastErrors in PHP8.2 as indicated in the official documentation: (https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetimeimmutable.getlasterrors.php) :

8.2.0 Before PHP 8.2.0, this function did not return false when there were no warnings or errors. Instead, it would always return the documented array structure.

I imagine that a simple cast to array should solve this issue, (array )false produces an empty array which would "array_sum" to 0.

I had this too, but it was fixed within the current version 8 of the library.

Good to know thanks. Unfortunately version 8 of the lib requires to use symphony 7 as well, which we haven't migrated to yet. Ahh damn domino effect !

[DZunke]

Yeah and i do not fully understand why the compatibility to Symfony 6 should not be there anymore 🤔 Maybe one should try it with symfony constraints to ^6.0|^7.0 in composer file and if it works open a PR to re-enable wider symfony version constraints.

Ok. I did it.
