Hi, Interactive Tools.

It appears a PHP 8 code update might be needed in /lib/plugin_functions.php for my v3.56 installations. The error log records the following error every time cron.php runs (set to every 5 min).

ERROR
#23041 - E_DEPRECATED: str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated
/home/webpvw4vps1/public_html/_cmsb356/lib/plugin_functions.php (line 458)

--------------------------------------

Probably just an annoying error, without consequences, but it does fill up the error log. Hoping there's a simple code change I can make.

Thanks for having a look!

Hi, Daniel. Your suggested worked!

While reviewing the CMSB error log I noticed an occasional similar error being recorded, so I modified the following:

/lib/database_functions.php - line 450:

  $hostname         = preg_replace('/[^\w\d\-\.]/', '', @$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);      

changed to:

$hostname = preg_replace('/[^\w\d\-\.]/', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']??'');

I've not seen these errors logged after the change. 

Thank you once again for your help!
