Many deprecated notes when using PivotX 3.0 rc3 under PHP 8.2.7

[Lemuria3]

I have downloaded the latest PivotX 3.0 rc3 dated 23 June 2023 and uploaded it to the test web server.

Environment:

Web server: Apache/2.4 Server API CGI/FastCGI Server default charset: UTF-8 PHP Version: 8.2.7 Error Reporting Value: 32767

When calling up the URL https://domain.xyz/pivotx, the following errors occur:

Deprecated: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $error_msg is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 458 Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 614 Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 628 Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 2530 Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 2542 Deprecated: Optional parameter $uid declared before required parameter $number is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 4037 Deprecated: Optional parameter $uid declared before required parameter $number is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 4064 Deprecated: Optional parameter $uid declared before required parameter $number is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 5506 Deprecated: Optional parameter $force declared before required parameter $unit is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_db.php on line 100 Deprecated: Optional parameter $max declared before required parameter $match is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_tags.php on line 95 Deprecated: Optional parameter $amount declared before required parameter $comments is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_parser.php on line 1787 Deprecated: Optional parameter $only declared before required parameter $searchresults is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_search.php on line 434 Deprecated: Optional parameter $weblog declared before required parameter $searchresults is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_search.php on line 434 Deprecated: Optional parameter $category declared before required parameter $searchresults is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_search.php on line 434 Deprecated: Optional parameter $weblogname declared before required parameter $subweblogname is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/objects.php on line 1161 Deprecated: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $value is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/objects.php on line 3166 Deprecated: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $values is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/objects.php on line 3197 Deprecated: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $key is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/objects.php on line 3220 Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_smarty.php on line 2910 Deprecated: Optional parameter $pDirectory declared before required parameter $pFieldName is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/formclass.php on line 1232 Deprecated: Optional parameter $pMaxFileSize declared before required parameter $pFieldName is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/formclass.php on line 1232 Deprecated: Optional parameter $error_msg declared before required parameter $error_no is implicitly treated as a required parameter in ../pivotx/pivotx/modules/module_sql.php on line 199 Deprecated: Function utf8_decode() is deprecated in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 4527 Deprecated: Function utf8_decode() is deprecated in ../pivotx/pivotx/lib.php on line 4527

The PivotX blog is not displayed in the browser window, only the errors are visible.

Thx for the report, but I haven't time to fix all deprecations. Feel free to submit a PR ;-) I might fix some eventually.

Please change error_reporting from E_ALL to E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT so we can see if there is some "real" error causing the blog to not display. You have checked the webserver error log?

Ok, I have changed the Test Web Server to the Production Value error_reporting, deleted the existing PivotX installation and performed a completely new upload. The setup appears, I can create a user and the PivotX blog appears in the browser window without PHP errors. Then I quickly wrote a blog entry and it seems to work. Again, no PHP error.

After that I set the Test Web Server back to Development Value, cleared the browser cache completely, cleared the PivotX cache as well and the PivotX blog appears in the browser window this time, but with many deprecated errors (see above).

For your information, the Apache server log does not show any errors that refer to the PivotX installation.

Thx for the extended report. Without any log messages it's hard to tell why it failed with dev error reporting enabled.

Anyway, I fixed most of the deprecation messages. Will commit later today.

Deprecation fixed - at least mostly - in commit 9baba82dcf3e0b6d6c19e073fc2f5745f54b44a2.
