paypaldp and PHP 8.1

[swguy]

Is anyone using PayPal Pro with PHP 8.1+? I'm getting a boatload of warnings about undefined array keys.

I'm using paypalwpp (PayPal Express Checkout) the uk with php 8.2.13 no issues. Not pro. I thought pro was being phased out?

We were getting a ton of that and switched to square since it appeared that the paypal modules were no longer being developed. Even on express we still get
PHP Warning: Undefined variable $address_book_id in /includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php on line 2196.

The problem with payment modules is that they're a huge pain for developers to test, and there are lots of data-dependent potential problems that won't be seen until things are in heavy use. Most storeowners use Express rather than Pro, so it has had more attention and has less issues.

Oh, i totaly get it! I tried looking at the code to see if i could help out and pretty quickly noped out of that idea. Square is saving us money on processing fees anyway.
