Uncaught Error: Undefined constant “PHPMailer\PHPMailer\FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED”

Uncaught Error: Undefined constant “PHPMailer\PHPMailer\FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED”

The FILTER_FLAG_HOST_REQUIRED filter flag was deprecated in PHP 7.3 and there are no longer any references to it in the PHPMailer code base. So a straightforward fix should be to simply update PHPMailer. If you were using composer this would be automatic and very simple, but you’re not, so you’ll have to download the latest version and install it yourself as per the readme.

get file created date php

To get the file creation date in PHP, you can use the filectime() function. This function returns the creation time of the file, as a Unix timestamp. This code will output the creation date of the file in the format “Y-m-d H:i:s”, e.g. “2022-01-01 12:00:00”.

<?php

$zipfile = '/home/xxxx/public_html/public/public.zip';
if (file_exists($zipfile)) { 
  $file_name = pathinfo($zipfile);
  $dirName=$file_name['dirname'];
  $fileFullName=$file_name['basename'];
  $fileExtenstion=$file_name['extension'];
  $fileName=$file_name['filename'];
  $size = filesize($zipfile);
  $units = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB');
  $power = $size > 0 ? floor(log($size, 1024)) : 0;   
  //echo $dirName."<br>".$fileFullName."<br>".$fileExtenstion."<br>".$fileName."<br>".date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime($zipfile));
  echo $fileFullName."<br>".date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime($zipfile))."<br>".number_format($size / pow(1024, $power), 2, '.', ',') . ' ' . $units[$power];;
}

?>

Deprecated: strtotime(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($datetime) of type string is deprecated in

Migration to PHP 8.1 – how to fix Deprecated Passing null to parameter error – rename build in functions

$time2 = strtotime($task[$i]['out_date_time'] ?? '');
substr($task[$i]['out_user_agent'] ?? '',0,1)

Firstly, two things to bear in mind:

1. PHP 8.1 deprecates these calls, it does not make them errors. The purpose of deprecation is to give authors advance notice to fix their code, so you and the authors of libraries you use have until PHP 9.0 comes out to fix things. So, don’t panic that not everything is fixed right away, and be patient with library maintainers, who will get to this in their own time.
2. The quick fix in most cases is to use the null coalescing operator to provide a default value as appropriate, so you don’t need a long null check around every use. For instance, htmlspecialchars($something) can be replaced with htmlspecialchars($something ?? '')

Next, some options:

• Depending how many cases you have, you may be able to just fix them manually a few at a time, either adding ?? '' or fixing a logic bug where you weren’t expecting a null anyway.
• Create custom functions like nullable_htmlspecialchars and do a straight-forward find and replace in your code.
• Create custom namespaced functions like nullableoverride\htmlspecialchars; then in any file where you add use function nullableoverride\htmlspecialchars; that function will be used instead of the built-in one. This has to be added in each file, though, so you may need a tool to automate adding it.
• Use Rector to automate adding ?? '' to appropriate function calls, so you don’t have to edit them all by hand. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a built-in rule for this (yet), so you’d have to learn to write your own.
• Possibly simpler, depending on your skills, use a regular expression find-and-replace to add the ?? '' to simple cases.
