PHP Deprecations: A thread

[basedgentoo]

I'm going to use this to report PHP deprecation messages/warnings I run into as I tinker with the software on the latest PHP revision.

install.php reports the following with verbose error reporting enabled
Deprecated: Return type of Twig\Node\Node::count() should either be compatible with Countable::count(): int, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /var/www/html/vendor/twig/twig/src/Node/Node.php on line 213

Deprecated: Return type of Twig\Node\Node::getIterator() should either be compatible with IteratorAggregate::getIterator(): Traversable, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /var/www/html/vendor/twig/twig/src/Node/Node.php on line 221

Installer still seems to function, but these errors are visible at the top of the page.

If you keep upping the php version, twig also has to be updated.

most of this problem was fixed with #553

new deprecations:

• update gmstrftime to something else
• secuimage doesnt work on php8.1+ due to Implicit conversion from float to int loses precision in
• fix Implicit conversion from float to int loses precision in antibot.php
• Automatic conversion of false to array in display.php
• string interpolation ${var} -> {$var}
• passing null to non nullable functions in post.php and somewhere else afaik

The securimage can be fixed by changing composer.json to use custom repository

    "repositories": [
	    {
		"type": "vcs",
		"url": "https://github.com/alex300/securimage"
	    }
    ],

Here's one more that I don't see mentioned above:

htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /path/to/inc/functions.php on line 2307
