PHP 8.4.1 Released!

    Características obsoletas

    Núcleo PHP

    • If a parameter with a default value is followed by a required parameter, the default value has no effect. This is deprecated as of PHP 8.0.0 and can generally be resolved by dropping the default value, without a change in functionality:

      <?php
      function test($a = [], $b) {} // Before
      function test($a, $b) {} // After
      ?>

      One exception to this rule are parameters of the form Type $param = null, where the null default makes the type implicitly nullable. This usage remains allowed, but it is recommended to use an explicit nullable type instead:

      <?php
      function test(A $a = null, $b) {} // Still allowed
      function test(?A $a, $b) {} // Recommended
      ?>

    • Calling get_defined_functions() with exclude_disabled explicitly set to false is deprecated and no longer has an effect. get_defined_functions() will never include disabled functions.

    Enchant

    LibXML

    libxml_disable_entity_loader() has been deprecated. As libxml 2.9.0 is now required, external entity loading is guaranteed to be disabled by default, and this function is no longer needed to protect against XXE attacks.

    PGSQL / PDO PGSQL

    Standard Library

    • Sort comparison functions that return true or false will now throw a deprecation warning, and should be replaced with an implementation that returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero.

      <?php
      // Replace
      usort($array, fn($a, $b) => $a > $b);
      // With
      usort($array, fn($a, $b) => $a <=> $b);
      ?>

    Zip

    • Using an empty file as ZipArchive is deprecated. Libzip 1.6.0 does not accept empty files as valid zip archives any longer. The existing workaround will be removed in the next version.

    • The procedural API of Zip is deprecated. Use ZipArchive instead. Iteration over all entries can be accomplished using ZipArchive::statIndex() and a for loop:

      <?php
      // iterate using the procedural API
      assert(is_resource($zip));
      while (      $entry = zip_read($zip)) {
      echo       zip_entry_name($entry);
      }

      // iterate using the object-oriented API
      assert($zip instanceof ZipArchive);
      for (      $i = 0; $entry = $zip->statIndex($i); $i++) {
      echo       $entry['name'];
      }
      ?>

    If you try to get all methods / functions assigning an optional argument before a mandatory one, try this regex (single line)

    <?php
    function\s    +[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*\((?:\$[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*\s*,\s*)*
    (?:\$[    a-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*\s*=[^\$\)]+)+\$[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)
    ?>

    for
    <?php
    public function test($a, $b) {
    $a = [];
    $b = [$abc => $ss[],
    ];
    }

    private function     too($c, $a = true, $b) {
    }

    protected function     bar($a = []) {
    }

    public function     foo($a, $b = true) {
    }

    public function     fooBar32($a=true, $b = [], $c) {
    }

    private function     oo_bAr($a = []) {
    }
    ?>
    it will match too() and fooBar32()

    Have a nice migration! ;)
