Not working with PHP 8.2.7 ?

Hi,

Can you please confirm that you have the latest version of UpdraftPlus installed? If yes, can you try to re-install and see if you get the same issue? You will not lose your backups in the process.

Thanks,
Bryle

I’m getting this error… I have UpdraftPlus Version 2.23.7.26, and WordPress 6.2.2

@werkc @mywebmaestro can you both post your backups logs from the backup/restore tabs using a tools such as pastebin.com

If possible, could you also post your php error logs

(you can obscure your site name or replace it with something like mysite using a find a replace tool if you like, it is not essential for us to know your site url if you do not want us to)

Same error here, under PHP 8.2.8:

PHP event: code E_DEPRECATED: Creation of dynamic property Crypt_Rijndael::$key_size is deprecated (line 279, wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/vendor/phpseclib/phpseclib/phpseclib/Crypt/Rijndael.php)
There are absolutely no further errors on the webserver log.

And the Pastebin (redacted) for the UpdraftPlus logs is here: https://pastebin.com/Z7vJA1RE

It’s a very simple fix, really. PHP 8.2 deprecated support of creating dynamic properties: https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration82.deprecated.php

But as you can see there are plenty of alternatives to choose from, and aye, they will also work under PHP 8.0/8.1.

Happy bug hunting! ??

Further feedback…

You’re using the popular phpseclib, which is fine. But you’re using the 2008 version, which had PHP 4 and 5 in mind. You should really, really, really update that library, it’s 15 years old!

phpseclib, of course, continues to be dutifully maintained: https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib/ (last submission was last week, at the date of writing this). I’ve checked the new code for setKey(), which is the function that throws the deprecation error: as expected, the contemporary code is quite different from the 2008 one, and should work flawlessly.

There you go ?? You just need to make sure that the rest of your code is compatible with the updated library; if yes, this is a 5-minute-fix (at worst!) to make everybody happy again ??

(Fortunately, the deprecation error seems not to affect the backups to Dropbox themselves)

Hi,

Thank you for the report and investigation. I have added a ticket on our internal development board for our development team to look at this.

Thanks for looking into it, @vupdraft ?? I see that this change made it into version 1.23.8, so everything should be fine now!
