I'm having a strange problem that might be related to PHP 8:
Code: Select all
ParseError: syntax error, unexpected variable "$this", expecting ")" in C:\MAMP\htdocs\4011\extension\plugin\......\plugin.php on line 72
This is line 72:
Code: Select all
$myplugin = new Plugin(string $this->merchant, string $this->secret, array $header, string $body);
This rebukes those attributes. Why?
Ps. This message would have belonged to a different category, but I can't change it

I don't think anyone has experience with Opencart 4 extensions?

Try this:
$myplugin = new Plugin((string) $this->merchant, (string) $this->secret, (array) $header, (string) $body);

Thank you!
Strange that Php 8.1 didn't recognize that code structure at this point.

You are dealing here with type-casting which require the brackets. This is different from a function declaration where the argument types are specified without brackets.
As regards OpenCart 4: There is no extension/plugin coming with it, it looks like you are talking about a 3rd party extension.
Anyway, OpenCart 4 isn't yet suitable for live websites, there still too many bugs to be fixed.
