Testers needed: PHP 8 compatibility
PHP 8 is coming soon and brings some 4.8.3-incompatible changes. Please stress-test PHP8RC-empowered 4.8.4 demo site, both public and admin side, and report any anomaly. Thanks!

Txp needs you again for PHP 8 compatibility testing: dev-demo.textpattern.co/dev/. Just caught few bugs this morning, please keep hunting.

For any users of XAMPP, there is a new version as of yesterday that includes PHP 8.

I’m flat out until next Friday but after that, I’ll help and this and read through the Docs site refresh effort thread, so as to see how I can help there too.

Re: Testers needed: PHP 8 compatibility
so i tried installing 4.8.4 TxP on my server with PHP 8 as the setting:
I received the following errors when trying to install:
Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: mysqli_get_client_version() expects exactly 0 arguments, 1 given in /home/myid/apps/marialand_app/textpattern/setup/setup_lib.php:368 Stack trace: #0 /home/myid/apps/marialand_app/textpattern/setup/setup_lib.php(368): mysqli_get_client_version() #1 /home/myid/apps/marialand_app/textpattern/setup/index.php(365): setup_connect() #2 /home/myid/apps/marialand_app/textpattern/setup/index.php(145): step_printConfig() #3 {main} thrown in /home/myid/apps/marialand_app/textpattern/setup/setup_lib.php on line 368
does MySQL need to be confiqured for 8?

Yeah, you’ll get those on 4.8.4, sorry. They’re fixed in the upcoming 4.8.5. If you’re able to test that and report back, it’d be much appreciated.

ok. i’ll await the 4.8.5 because no matter what i did… i even created a Mariadb with utf8mb4 i was never able to instal TxP — of course using Php8

Re: Testers needed: PHP 8 compatibility
Testing the 4.8.5 work-in-progress build would be really helpful, bici – thank you:
github.com/textpattern/textpattern/archive/4.8.5.zip
Note this is not the final 4.8.5, it’s the code that is currently on its way to becoming 4.8.5.

It would be ace to test 4.8.5 before release, to avoid testing 4.8.6 :-)
