Testers needed: PHP 8 compatibility

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

why do i get this error?

Cannot Upload
The symlink “textpattern.js” could not be transferred because following symlinks is not supported.

I’m guessing it’s the symlink in the /sites folder (see that folder in GitHub) that’s the reason. If you’re not doing a multisite installation, you don’t need that folder.

If I recall correctly, symlinks a) don’t zip well and don’t transfer via FTP (you need SFTP or SSH). In the public releases, that folder is I believe only in the tar.gz archive.

Because the new 4.8.5 version seems to be imminent, here is the error messages I got after an upgrade to the dev version (https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/tree/5b579f7aa1589b12573d542e44e30309ace8f42e) with PHP 8 on a server in production:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "MYSQLI_CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS" in /home/{hidden}/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php:169 Stack trace: #0 /home/{hidden}/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php(283): DB->__construct() #1 /home/{hidden}/public_html/textpattern/index.php(63): include('/home/{hidden}/...') #2 {main} thrown in /home/{hidden}/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 169

Undefined constant “MYSQLI_CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS”

Weird. According to the docs on mysql_real_connect that constant is still valid as far as PHP 7 is concerned. No idea about PHP 8, but it’d be odd for them to axe it without at least mentioning it’s been deprecated in the PHP 7 docs.

What does your PHP info report? If you can’t get into Admin>Diagnostics>PHP Configuration then perhaps write an executable test file in the root of your server:

<?php
echo phpinfo();

and run that in your browser. Post anything relevant please (PM me if you don’t want to post it publicly). I’m just looking for anything mysqli-related that may indicate what’s going on here. Thanks.
