Summary of Changes

When registering a user, we export the whole data set of the user object to be used in the mail templates. Some of those values are actually NULL, for example isRoot or lastResetTime, etc. In line 350, we are doing a str_replace() on the tag with the value, in this case NULL. In PHP 8.1 (maybe even 8.0, didn't test.) this throws a notice, since str_replace() shouldn't be called with a NULL value.

I thought about how to solve the problem. The first idea was to just hopp over such an empty value, but that would leave a potential template tag in the mail. So I opted for replacing the value from NULL to an empty string.

Testing Instructions

Can we do this with a code review? It is difficult to provide testing instructions without fabricating a component to display the issue and not have it hidden in a redirect...
