Status	Resolved
Add-on / Version	Publisher 3.8.2

When running under php 8.1.14 am seeing this deprecation error reported:

Deprecated
Automatic conversion of false to array is deprecated
user/addons/publisher/legacy/models/publisher_site_pages.php, line 1219
Severity: E_DEPRECATED

It might have been fixed in more recent version, but nothing about this in Changelog.

Can you try changing lines 1215 and 1217 to this?

$pageUriVars = $this->cache->get('page_uri_vars') ?? [];

if (empty($pageUriVars)) {

Yep - that would clear the deprecation error, but unfortunately triggers an exception a couple of lines later ... ;(

I guess try wrapping that merge line with this conditional

if (is_array($pageUriVars)) {
                ee()->config->_global_vars = array_merge(ee()->config->_global_vars, $pageUriVars);
            }

Gavin did the suggested change resolve the issue for you?

I’m going to go ahead and close this ticket. If that change didn’t resolve the issue please feel free to re-open it.

So I changed the block of code in the create_page_uri_vars() function thusly (which I *think* is what you suggested…

/**
     * Create {page_uri:XX} variables. Can be used in start_from param
     * in Structure nav, or another module.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function create_page_uri_vars()
    {
        $sitePages = $this->get(false, true);

        // Only do this if there is page data, and we're not within the control panel
        if (!empty($sitePages) && REQ == 'PAGE') {
            $pageUriVars = $this->cache->get('page_uri_vars') ?? [];

            if (is_array($pageUriVars)) {
                ee()->config->_global_vars = array_merge(ee()->config->_global_vars, $pageUriVars);
            }

            if (empty($pageUriVars)) {
                foreach ($sitePages as $id => $url) {
                    $pageUriVars['page_uri:'. $id] = $this->addTrailingSlash($url);
                    $pageUriVars['page_url:'. $id] = $this->addTrailingSlash(
                        $this->urlService->addPrefixToUrl($url, $url, $this->currentLanguageCode)
                    );
                }

                $this->cache->save('page_uri_vars', $pageUriVars);
            }

            if (is_array($pageUriVars)) {
                ee()->config->_global_vars = array_merge(ee()->config->_global_vars, $pageUriVars);
            }
        }
    }

This removes the first issue, but generates a new one ... this deprecation warning:

Deprecated
Automatic conversion of false to array is deprecated

user/addons/publisher/legacy/models/publisher_site_pages.php, line 1223

    Severity: E_DEPRECATED

where line 1223 is

$pageUriVars['page_uri:'. $id] = $this->addTrailingSlash($url);

Bit of 8.1 whack-a-mole to go I guess.
This using publisher-3.9.1-develop-84169571 build.

Change line 1215 to this

$pageUriVars = $this->cache->get(‘page_uri_vars’) ?: [];

instead of this

$pageUriVars = $this->cache->get(‘page_uri_vars’) ?? [];

Should fix it.

Super - that’s sorted it. Thanks.
