Topic: PHP to 8.2 errors with FA 2.4.17

When I set my PHP to 8.2 with FA 2.4.17 the following error shows:

Creation of dynamic property front_accounting::$renderer is deprecated in file: /home/mydomain/public_html/accounts/frontaccounting.php at line 66 in Sales TAB when FA opens. When I refresh the page the error goes away.

When I switch back to php 8.1 it goes away.

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

Another error on PHP 8.2 when you want to add a new direct invoice for a client:

Unhandled exception [0]: Attempt to assign property "reference" on null. in file: /home/mysite/public_html/accounts/sales/sales_order_entry.php at line 267

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another PHP8.2 Error when you do a trial balance in Exel

Creation of dynamic property Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer_Parser::$ptg is deprecated in file: /home/mysite/public_html/accounts/reporting/includes/Workbook.php at line 2412

There are 26 lines of errors in workbook.php

Creation of dynamic property FrontReport::$formatRight is deprecated in file: /home/mysite/public_html/accounts/reporting/includes/excel_report.inc at line 127

6 lines of errors in excel_report.inc

FA is not fully ready for php8.2. It's still having several updates. So wait for next major release to move forward with php 8.2

Re: PHP to 8.2 errors with FA 2.4.17

@seahawk

Regarding first error line 66 in frontaccounting.php: Creation of dynamic property front_accounting::$renderer is deprecated in file.

Please insert the following line 31 in frontaccounting.php:

var $renderer = null;

It should remove the 8.2 error, right? Please tell me.

Regarding second error line 267 in sales_order_entry.php. Please change the line to:

$cart->reference = get_post('ref');

Please tell me if it helps, thanks.

Regarding the third error, I need some time to fix the workbook.php file. This is not our own, so I have to fixi the file.
Will be back on this.

Re: PHP to 8.2 errors with FA 2.4.17

@seahawk and @kvvaradha

Hello again,

I have now fixed the Workbook.php1 and the exel_report.inc files.

Please download them, rename Workbook.php1 to Workbook.php and replace on your test server. Tell me if all the deprecation errors have vanished. (They should).

If this is also ok, then we can commit the files to stable repo.

Thank you for the changes. I have updated it as indicated by you and it works, the errors have gone.

Sorry for not coming back earlier, I did not receive the notification.

I appreciate your assistance. I trust that this will be correct in future updates.

Re: PHP to 8.2 errors with FA 2.4.17

Get the following message after the above updates:

"This edit session has been abandoned by opening sales document in another browser tab. You cannot edit more than one sales document at once."

This happened after I loaded a new customer and wanted to issue a direct invoice. I was still in the same tab. Using Edge.

Re: PHP to 8.2 errors with FA 2.4.17

@seahawk
This is an old issue for Windows installations. We are working on that. In the meantime please set the following variabel in config.php to 1:

$no_check_edit_conflicts = 1;

Joe
PS. This is NOT a php8 bug. This issue range over several php versions.

Re: PHP to 8.2 errors with FA 2.4.17

Were these changes implemented in 2.4.18, since after the update I had to make the changes again on the same files since the errors reappeared?

Re: PHP to 8.2 errors with FA 2.4.17

So its working out now? It is a pretty old plugin, and looks like php has changed to be quite a bit more strict recently.
downgrade php or upgrade FA are best bets

I cannot downgrade on PHP since I am running Joomla sites where I need the higher PHP. @Joe solutions above worked, but when I upgraded to 2.4.18 the errors above reappeared, so I just used my replacement files and then we were up and running again.
