PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property ups::$quotes

[Dave224]

Where is that documented? Php 8.0 removed suppression of error type messages, but not all suppression. See this portion of the php manual: https://www.php.net/manual/en/langua...rorcontrol.php



Which can be "temporarily" allowed without associated dynamic property log generation by using:
#[\AllowDynamicProperties]

As described: https://www.php.net/manual/en/class....properties.php

mc...Can you provide additional detail? Placing #[\AllowDynamicProperties] just before the class declaration doesn't seem to help me. Is there anything else that needs to be done to temporarily kill the error messages? My webhost went from PHP 8.0 to 8.2 and I'm getting tons of error logs associated with this problem in the query_factory class. I'm in zc 1.5.7c and not quite ready to deploy 1.5.8a.

Sample log:
[16-Feb-2024 17:18:38 America/New_York] Request URI: /index.php?main_page=index, IP address: xxx
#0 /domain/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php(586): zen_debug_error_handler()

#4 /domain/index.php(25): require('/...')
--> PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property queryFactoryResult::$link is deprecated in /domain/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 586.

Thank you.

You say or reference the query_class, but that file has two classes declared in it, the reported issue is with the class towards the bottom of the file which is the queryFactoryResult class.

It is my understanding though I haven't again gone to test this, that the alliance to add dynamic properties is a power class allowance not a first at top of file allowance. Otherwise, one could add it to the first of many files loaded to assemble the store and it would apply across all. That to would complicate troubleshooting and development if the single inclusion applied to all of the code.

Of course upgrading to the latest software, downgrading the php version, and then other code changes might be a reasonable sequence to how to approach resolution of a significant number of different deported issues. For one that is breweries reported, the fix should be simple (famous last words).

One of the things that's getting more and more strict in ongoing PHP versions is this issue of creating variables on-the-fly without first declaring them (by stating they exist or giving them a value).
You're going to find a number of places where that's been happening, because prior to PHP was actually built to intentionally allow that. So that's why you see a lot of original Zen Cart code doing that.
Part of the reason for PHP getting more strict about this stuff is that it helps make it run faster and manage memory better. It also makes PHP more like "other" languages, for better or for worse.

In short, if you're staying on v1.5.7 then you'll need to downgrade your PHP version as well.
