Which version of Matomo do you currently run?
Are you sure the PHP version is not 8.2?

Task Help wanted

The first alpha of PHP 8.2 has been released and I got a bit of time, so I will …be looking into what the major things are that will cause current Matomo to break when using PHP 8.2. See also #17686 for 8.1 Reading through [UPGRADING](https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.2.0alpha1/UPGRADING), I don't see any major breaking changes, but we will see what needs to be changed. As only the first reported issue here seems to completely brake Matomo and with it fixed, the majority of Matomo is already working fine, I will only list one example per deprecated usage here and link to more information about the deprecation. -------------- Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in /home/lukas/public_html/matomophp8/core/testMinimumPhpVersion.php on line 130 See https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_dollar_brace_string_interpolation https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/pull/19344 (there are also a few more occurances in tests) ------------------ WARNING [2022-06-12 15:26:34] 188990 /home/lukas/public_html/matomophp8/plugins/PrivacyManager/DoNotTrackHeaderChecker.php(29): Deprecated - Creation of dynamic property Piwik\Plugins\PrivacyManager\DoNotTrackHeaderChecker::$config is deprecated - Matomo 4.11.0-rc1 - Please report this message in the Matomo forums: https://forum.matomo.org (please do a search first as it might have been reported already) I assume this will affect a lot of code, but also it should be really easy to detect with PHPStorm or PHP_CS: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_dynamic_properties https://php.watch/versions/8.2/dynamic-properties-deprecated `https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/issues/3489` And getting rid of such cases might make the code more readable and especially avoid bugs because of typos. -------------- WARNING [2022-06-12 15:26:35] 188990 /home/lukas/public_html/matomophp8/core/Console.php(135): Deprecated - Callables of the form ["Piwik\Console", "Symfony\Component\Console\Application::doRun"] are deprecated - Matomo 4.11.0-rc1 - Please report this message in the Matomo forums: https://forum.matomo.org (please do a search first as it might have been reported already) https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/e3218471244d08039b1b84f1c907f1be0e018768/core/Console.php#L135 https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_partially_supported_callables https://php.watch/versions/8.2/partially-supported-callable-deprecation ------------- To be updated...

Yeah @heurteph-ei, you’re right, I defined PHP 8.1, but hosting updated to 8.2 without my consent.

I returned to 8.1 and works fine, thanks.
