PHP8 Scanner sensitivity reduced for 4.7.2.1

[Matt]

Hi all,

We've been working on fine-tuning the PHP8 compatibility scanner to ignore technically incorrect things, but they are still allowed with PHP 8.0 and 8.1.

Please see this post for details:

Now it's public. Thanks Matt

Hopefully you'll see far fewer plugins and apps being disabled from now on.

Thanks. I have a boatload of apps that the scanner was picking up but that have been working fine on PHP8 for a couple months now.

If you do see anything odd, let me know.

I specifically tested all my apps/plugins with PHP 8.1 and didn't encounter any of these errors. Is there something in error reporting I can change going forward or are these IPS specific checks?

The scanner keeps reporting and disabling @Michael.J’s Collections app.  Next time it runs I’ll see if I can grab a screenshot of what it is complaining about.  That said, I have been on PHP8 for a few months and as far as I know it hasn’t been an issue.   I am not on 8.1 yet because Imagik for CPanel hasn’t been updated last I checked.

Thank you! The app scanner isn't even working for me, so making it hard to patch what's wrong.
