phpsysinfo 3.4.3 does not work with php 8 and later

[ScatterAdd]

Describe the bug The phpsysinfo3.4.3 does not work with php8 and later. I actually use php8.2

To Reproduce Copy the zip file content to the webservers doc root, change the option you need and call the page.

Expected behavior When called over the internet or network I expect a page the shows me some system information.

Desktop (please complete the following information): Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS Server. I want to upgrade my server device to ubuntu 24.04. The new Ubuntu OS comes by default with php8.3

Devices be used: Raspberry Pi 4b

!! If you have any problems, please set DEBUG to true in phpsysinfo.ini and include any error messages in your bug report / help request !!

With php 8 and later there is no option to disable or enable php safe_mode. As far as I remember and I can see in new and old php.ini files I never saw an option to switch this on or off. I changed the phpsysinfo.ini debug option from false to true but there are no errors in the error logs only a notice at the page when called: phpSysInfo requires the simplexml extension to php in order to work properly.

Describe the solution you'd like There is possibly a problem with the php extension SimpleXML

See what the /var/log/httpd/error_log file contains. See http://YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS/phpsysinfo/xml.php

There is no output at /var/log/apache2/error.log which could show problems with phpsysinfo. The debug=true does not work and an entry ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); in the index.php file doesn't help. The 2nd link of your last message shows me: phpSysInfo requires the simplexml extension to php in order to work properly.

The phpsysinfo.ini contains DEBUG=true

The 1st link phpSysInfo requires the simplexml extension to php in order to work properly.

The 2nd link: phpSysInfo requires the simplexml extension to php in order to work properly.

the 3rd link phpSysInfo requires the simplexml extension to php in order to work properly.

the 4th link phpSysInfo requires the simplexml extension to php in order to work properly.

I tried to enhance the index.php with ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); right after the php opening tag but there are no error messages in /var/log/apache2/error.log

The access.log says this when I call the xml.php ip.ad.dr.ess - - [26/Apr/2024:10:20:47 +0200] "GET /phpsysinfo/xml.php HTTP/1.1" 200 2650 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0"

The error logging behavior with php8 changed. I'm writing regularly with php8.2. The error logging often contains nothing or extremely much. In this case nothing.

The SimpleXML is installed. As a linux unix user we know all, that simplexml is not the same than SimpleXML. There is no simplexml to install and I really don't know if this could be the problem.

Create test.php:

<?php
var_dump(extension_loaded("simplexml"));
var_dump(extension_loaded("SimpleXML"));
phpinfo();

http://YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS/test.php

Paste the first line here, "PHP version", "Additional .ini files parsed" and SimpleXML block.

Here the output of the phpinfo() and a textfile with the php.ini content.

Please check "Loaded Configuration File" Simplexml is not loaded so you probably have a different php.ini for php scripts in apache2. Add: extension=mbstring extension=xsl

Inside my old php.ini from php7.4 I not enabled mbstring, xsl and an added entry in the new 8.1.28 php.ini from apache wiith "extension=simplexml" shows at "systemctl restart apache2" this in the syslog:

Please check the php7.4 php.ini file below. The phpsysinfo worked fine with this php.ini and php7.4. php-ini-7.4.txt

I'm completely lost now. Enable test.php as I provided earlier. I'll check it out myself at http://linuxhost.no-ip.org/test.php

Is online again..

BTW from the menue at the left use the 2nd link (from top to bottom) called "System" to see the phpsysinfo page.

[namiltd]

File /etc/php/8.1/apache2/conf.d/20-simplexml.ini is missing.

apt install php8.1-xml

[ScatterAdd]

My goodness it's working now. I installed php-xml and apt has choosen anything as "default". I thank you for your patience and help with this little problem. I hope this will work a few days later, when I upgrade the device to ubuntu 24.04 LTS Server.
