I got this error after copying code from a tutorial. It's deprecated and I tried resolving it:
Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in .../app/Http/Helpers/helpers.php
My code copy:
if (!function_exists("pkcs5_unpad_e")) {
function pkcs5_unpad_e($text) {
$pad = ord($text{strlen($text) - 1});
if ($pad > strlen($text))
return false;
return substr($text, 0, -1 * $pad);
}
}
My edit: replace {....} with [.....] ==> HTTP ERROR 500
if (!function_exists("pkcs5_unpad_e")) {
function pkcs5_unpad_e($text) {
$pad = ord($text[strlen($text) - 1]);
if ($pad > strlen($text))
return false;
return substr($text, 0, -1 * $pad);
}
}
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 DigitalOcean Cyberpanel server and PHP 8.
Simply replace {} with []
PS. No idea why nobody creates an answer instead of a comment. So please mark this question solved.
PPS. I mark this answer community, because I don't want points for a solution provided by someone else.
