In February I reported this problem and I understood that there would be a porting work for the new version of php 8.1.2-1, I wanted to know if there are any news in this regard, thanks.

I just ran into a PHP 8.1 deprecation error in application\models\Mixin\ElementText.php regarding null passed to strlen.

To work around it, I changed line 524 to test for null:

if ($elementText == null || !strlen($elementText)) {

Thanks for sharing. We’ve applied a similar fix to the code.

I found another case (reported in the xampp\apache\logs\error.log):

PHP Deprecated:  trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\omeka\\application\\libraries\\Omeka\\File\\MimeType\\Detect\\Strategy\\FileCommand.php on line 25, referer: http://localhost/omeka/admin/items/edit/12794

For me the error is occurring because the call to shell_exec is triggering this error which causes it to return null.

'file' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I got around the deprecation warning by changing the detect() function as follows:

$command = "file -ib $fileArg";
$result = shell_exec($command);
return $result ? trim($result) : "";

However, I don’t know what is causing the error on the file command. I know that shell_exec is working in PHP, and I know that the file command works on the command line. Any ideas?
