Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /srv/http/xataface/public-api.php on line 702

[Gary Woodruff]

Upgraded to PHP 8.0 and xataface site stopped loading with the following error:

Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /srv/http/xataface/public-api.php on line 702

Found a post where someone said to replace curly braces  with [ ] . Replaced each instance as it appeared in the error log, 3 instances in public-api.php and a couple in init.php.

Now getting the following error:

[Sun Feb 07 17:22:18.916109 2021] [php:error] [pid 4105] [client 192.168.0.5:46774] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_magic_quotes_gpc() in /srv/http/xataface/config.inc.php:58\nStack trace:\n#0 /srv/http/xataface/init.php(44): require_once()\n#1 /srv/http/xataface/public-api.php(52): init('/srv/http/BMdat...', 'http://192.168....')\n#2 /srv/http/BMdata/index.php(46): df_init('/srv/http/BMdat...', 'http://192.168....')\n#3 {main}\n  thrown in /srv/http/xataface/config.inc.php on line 58, referer: http://192.168.0.5/BMdata/

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I haven’t tried php 8 yet.  There will be a lot of those curly brace instances.  I’ll see if I can flush some out tomorrow

Hi Steve, Thanks, I have tried to strip them myself but it causes other errors. Tried downgrading to 7.1 but still getting the same errors. 

[Gary Woodruff]

I did roll back to 7.0 and site is running again.

Is there any chance to update xataface version for PHP 8.0 because I cant roll back PHP to older version?

[Steve Hannah]

The master branch in github should work on PHP 8.  If you are getting errors on that branch, please post the errors so I can fix them.

Thanks for answer.

After PHP update, and xataface replaced with new version. This is error.

Thanks.  I thought I had one of my test servers running PHP 8, but I checked again and it's on 7.  I have fixed the issues you posted here and pushed to github, but I don't have a PHP 8 environment running right now so there could be other gremlins that need to be swatted still.

Downloaded latest master today (6/9) and now get:

I finally installed MAMP with PHP 8 for testing and I was able to flush out the errors.  I have pushed a fix to Github that patches over these errors:

https://github.com/shannah/xataface/commit/1941cdbacc0bdc970b04e313a64b9604e8cd4809

If you update to the latest in Github it should work in PHP 8 now.

Loads for me now with php 8.0! Layout looks like it's for mobile devices, the previous master from 7/9 did not. Is there some guidance on implementing the mobile and desktop layout based on access device? (Thanks again for you dedication to xataface!)

[Steve Hannah]

The stylesheet will show the mobile UI only if window width is less than 768px.  It's responsive.  I've written a little bit about the responsive UI here

https://shannah.github.io/xataface-manual/#responsive-ui

Some of the screenshots are out of date already as I have made tweaks to the design.

I am on a desktop with a screen resolution of 1920x1080. I have attached a screenshot showing the display using master git from today. I think the window is 961 wide in the screenshot (if I have inspected it correctly) and seems to be using the mobile css. The master git I downloaded on the 8th did not work with php 8 but with php 7 displayed my site with the same desktop look I am used to 

[Steve Hannah]

That's the desktop theme.

That makes more sense lol, updated from 2.25 then? I will have to explore the new documentation, it has been awhile since I tweaked my site!

I have two servers both running the same version of Arch and php (8.0). The latest master runs fine on one but not the other. I get the same error with the original version on that server as well as when I copy and try the version that works on the other server.  There must be an error in my config on the second server but I am at a loss. Here is the error:

Now all works!

Thanks Steve :)

[Steve Hannah]

That error message looks like it is still using the older version of xataface - before the PHP 8 fixes.  Double check.

I downloaded the latest from git and it worked perfectly! I had quite a few versions in there for testing and must have mislabeled. I am getting used to the new layout and love the dark theme (something I had done myself but not nearly as elegantly as your css). 

Thanks much!
