@Karl-Goddard hmm strange @jurihahn tested it with the new version successfully

@Karl-Goddard can test this on another host? With a lower or higher PHP version?

@HLeithner I have another test server running PHP7. I'll give it a try and let you know the result.

@HLeithner

PHP version:

PHP 7.2.13 (cli) (built: Dec 5 2018 07:37:23) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.2.13, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

Attached is a screenshot of the site on the php7 server after it was updated to 3.9.4

@ReLater I did the patch from #23907, which now gives me a new error:

@Karl-Goddard In the mentioned PharStreamWrapper.php file around line 445 (in method collectInvocation($path)), could you please var_dump($path) and post it here?

@ohader var_dump($path) doesn't give any output. I tries placing it at the start of the function as well as before this line $manager->getCollection()->collect($this->invocation);

I did the patch from #23907, which now gives me a new error

As far as I know the final patch is already integrated in Joomla 3.9.4 with pr 23956. Code in 23907 was just a quick pre-test for old Joomla 3.9.3 code

I tested it again with Joomla 3.9.4, and it works as verified earlier.
PHP 7.3.2 (apache2handler)

• TYPO3/phar-stream-wrapper#22

Just for internal research and verification: Which version of the geoip2.phar has been used?

Which version of the geoip2.phar has been used?

latest 2.9.0

I think my test was wrong ... I made my correction, then I applied the patch, but it looks like patch tool dont override my hotfix...
My last test with pure Joomla was not successful, I cannot use "geoip.phar".

does not work even after update to Joomla 3.9.5

@jurihahn that is expected as no Dev. made a Pull Request which solve the Issue.

i have workaround for "GeoIP2.phar"
require_once ( 'phar://' . __DIR__ . '/geoip2.phar/vendor/autoload.php' );

@jurihahn is it a Core-Issue?

Joomla include this library https://github.com/TYPO3/phar-stream-wrapper since version 3.9.3
It's a bug in this library.

do you have example code how you use this phar file? something I can copy-paste or install?

In this issue #23907 i have description how to get this error.

Ok, I think we can close this, this is a phar-stream-wrapper problem and has it own issue at TYPO3/phar-stream-wrapper#21

Workaround: require_once ( 'phar://' . __DIR__ . '/geoip2.phar/vendor/autoload.php' );
