Countless _GET['**'] _POST['**'] calls, warnings pop up. Now you need to close the warning report to run, but some warning reports are indispensable.

How should I be compatible?


"A number of notices have been converted into warnings:

Attempting to read an undefined variable.
Attempting to read an undefined property.
Attempting to read an undefined array key.
Attempting to read a property of a non-object.
Attempting to access an array index of a non-array.
Attempting to convert an array to string.
Attempting to use a resource as an array key.
Attempting to use null, a boolean, or a float as a string offset.
Attempting to read an out-of-bounds string offset.
Attempting to assign an empty string to a string offset.
Attempting to assign multiple bytes to a string offset will now emit a warning."

The true way would be to check of that variable index is available.

e.g.
Code:

if (isset($_POST['x']) {
//...
}


Thad bad and ugly way is to change the error level in php.ini, since it is now E_ALL by default. PHP 7.x it was E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

Too many places are written as if(POST[xx]), it is very difficult to change.
Also don't want to turn off the warning prompt...

Code:

php 5 / php 7 
echo $arr['user'][$userid][$this->age];  // return null
 
php 8
echo $arr['user'][$userid][$this->age];  // Warning: Undefined variable ***
// How to write so as not to make mistakes??
if( isset($arr) && isset($arr['user']) && isset($userid) && isset($this->age) && isset($arr['user'][$userid])..... )

Unrestricted isset?

For the Pointer you can the PHP 8 new feature https://wiki.php.net/rfc/nullsafe_operator
I don't know if that works for array, too. PHP 8 is fairly new.

Isset has to be used many, many times, and even the judgment is incomplete.

Not the best way.

it seems your code is not PHP 8 ready.

You could change the error level in php.ini to

Code:

E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE


That doesn't improve the code, but it will hide the notice errors.

php8 returns a warning, not a prompt E_NOTICE

RTFM? [1] Sure you can turn of Warnings, too. However, I don't recommend running your code with PHP 8. Is there a specific reason you need PHP 8?

Early technical test, operation and maintenance may upgrade php8
