[Solved] Problem with MySQL during update of 2.3.5

[deedw]

And was that under PHP 7.4

Yes, PHP 7.4.33 with Serendipity 2.5.0

and changing line 261 to array() fixed it

I don't know honestly. With PHP 7.4.33 and the unfixed nl2br plugin I only see the "php-8.1-strftime.php" problem in the php.log. So maybe it does not need to be fixed with 7.4.33, yet?

The new error you see is because of https://packagist.org/packages/php81_bc/strftime. It needs the php-intl extension to be activated.

Do I need this and can I deactivate it? Otherwise I think my hoster needs to install this "php-intl" extension, right?

Thanks for all your help

Right, if you were under PHP 7.4 the bug would not have happened. The code was compatible with it. But the fix will help under PHP 8.

Btw, great to see that Serendipity 2.5.0 still really worked with PHP 7.4! :)

For php-intl, exactly. That's for the server hoster to activate. I'm surprised it isn't activated by default, it was already there on the hosters I'm using (uberspace, manitu).

That new requirement slipped under the radar, but even after noticing it I think we assumed it would basically be always enabled. Otherwise we should have written about the new requirement more often.

So, finally everything works (with the patched nl2br plugin).
