2.0.18 and php8

[planet9]

I am testing 2.0.18 on ubuntu 20.04 and php8 and it is looking fairly good. So far I came across some instances of "create_function" replacements that were missed.

I have 3 files that I've updated. I haven't submitted anything to the SMF github repo before.. is that the desired method to propose fixes?

For example:

Sources/Profile_Modify.php

Lines 183-186 should be replace with:

Code Select Expand


'input_validate' => function(&$value)
{
$value = $value != '' ? strtr($value, array(',' => '', '.' => '', ' ' => '')) : 0;
return true;
},

There should not be able create_function with the SMF 2.0.18 package. Unless the install failed to modify in some places or if modifications to SMF used create_function in their coding.

2.0.x is not on github to the public. You would open a request in the bug reports forum.

all of the instances that I found were due to older mods

Good point.. thanks. I checked the SMF source and found no uses of create_function.

Though I suppose this topic might help others who want to move to php8 and have mods that are not updated yet.

I would post in any of mods topics here to let the mod authors to post an update.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but just wondering if 2.0.18 is working OK with PHP if you're not using any mods?

I mean PHP 8.

It should work but not officially supported as of yet.
