PHP 8.2 compatibility

[Peter De Bodt]

I recently upgraded my xampp test environment to PHP8.2, downloaded the latest xataface-master from https://github.com/shannah/xataface, but now I get a lot of PHP deprecated messages.

is xataface compatible with php 8.2?

Hi

I also upgraded to PHP Version 8.2.17 from PHP 8.0.x and I am getting multiple warnings of deprecated functions. My hosting company stopped support for PHP 8.0 and I will incur in premium support costs if I do not upgrade to at least 8.1.x. (warnings also show in 8.1)

Xataface is running on Linux shl-buildd-bs02 6.1.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1 (2024-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried in index.php the following directives to hide the warnings but they still show in https://....//index.php?-table=dashboard and other pages in my app.
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT );

The errors dissappear if I do display_errors = 0 but I am afraid of missing some more important errors.

I am sharing more details on the functions wiht warning hoping some more experienced collaborators or Steve can have a look at the compatibility issues with 8.2

Thank you

And several others, I hope the above might provide background of the issue

Best advice for now is to not display deprecation warnings.

I do appreciate you posting them here though so I can address them.

I have a couple of apps on php 8.2 and xataface and they are working fine.  other than the deprecation warnings.
