PHP 8.5 now issues warnings about language features that are deprecated.
You can ignore them for now, but in PHP 9 or whatever these deprecated
things might no longer work. I get this with users a lot :-)
If it's your server you can suppress these warnings by setting
error_reporting by plonking this in php.ini:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING
display_errors = Off
If it's not your server or you want to keep the warnings you can do this
at the start of the program(?) using something like:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
Or
If you're using Apache you can also do it in the .htaccess file for the
application but I can't remember the runes - I think you need the
numerical version of the bit twiddling above - i.e. echo E_ALL &
~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
This stuff is that there are multiple names for particular types (yes,
PHP now has types!). Basically, 'C' types names like int, bool, float
are preferred (also string) and old ones like double, integer, boolean
are deprecated. You can edit the PHP easily enough to tidy it up if
you're anything of a programmer - it's nothing magic.
NB. Use at your own risk - I'm a 'C' programmer but I have been looking
after servers hosting other's PHP for a while now...

PHP 8.5.4
I am unable to get 'phpldapadmin-php85' working on my system.
These warnings appear when I try to log in:
Deprecated: Non-canonical cast (double) is deprecated, use the (float)
cast instead in /usr/local/www/phpldapadmin/lib/functions.php on line
2847

I tried Googling, but the answers I found only worsened the situation.
I completely removed everything, including the 'phpldapadmin' directory,
then reinstalled the program. It still fails.
Interestingly, I also have 'phpMyAdmin' installed, and it
works.</pre>
