Another few:
/libraries/cms/menu/menu.php [269, 277]
/libraries/fof/utils/array/array.php [524, 525]
/libraries/vendor/joomla/registry/src/Format/Xml.php [67, 123]
/libraries/vendor/joomla/utilities/src/ArrayHelper.php [499, 500]

The stuff in the ArrayHelper class is fixed in the Framework repo, on the 2.x branch specifically and needs backported to the 1.x branch.

As for the rest, it isn't stuff that was covered by automated testing so I didn't include it here. This is really just one big patch to get PHPUnit running on the Vagrant box Rasmus Lerdorf has which can pull in the current PHP 7 branch without me needing to hack up a lot of things and make it easier to start working through some of the incompatibilities.

Also, I'm really trying to do this in smaller chunks and not get to a point where the final patch covers a few hundred files and is practically untestable. Still got plenty of time to work on PHP 7 compatibility

These were all the uses of $foo->bar[...] I could find in the whole repo. So it wouldn't become any larger.

Well if it's that few I'll get what I can updated in a little bit.

That's the spirit :P

I've PR'd the FOF ones into that repo. They'll stay as they are obviously until we update the library next release though

PR updated. JMenu is fixed and Registry and Utilities packages updated.

Looks fine. But 2 things in libraries/vendor/joomla/utilities/src/ArrayHelper.php:

• The copyright in the doc block of says 2013 now instead of 2015.
• Shouldn't the InvalidArgumentException use a language string?

1) The copyrights in the Framework repo need to be updated. We shouldn't be modifying anything in the libraries/vendor folder; it is all coming from external sources.

2) The Framework isn't using language strings for exceptions.

1) Then why was the year set to 2015 in the file before this PR? Was that a mistake?

2) Ok :)

JM just replaced everything including in all the upstream repo's. Which is why as we update them again we're going back. Generally the CMS rule is only user facing strings need to be translated

hello friends, the php7 is now stable and i just got it installed for my DEV needs.

on Joomla 3.4.5 we got a problem with String class

/libraries/vendor/joomla/string/src/string.php

abstract class String
to
abstract class StringHelper

now all occurances of

use Joomla/String/String

must be changed to:

use Joomla/String/StringHelper

i am not sure how the autoload works for these files, so if anybody can suggest Git change, pls do so.

now i am trying to get these resolved:

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to JErrorPage::render() must be an instance of Exception, instance of Error given in /libraries/cms/error/page.php:28 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: JErrorPage::render(Object(Error)) #1 {main} thrown in /libraries/cms/error/page.php on line 28

(just a try for PDO since no mysql worked):
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot instantiate abstract class JDatabaseDriverPdo in /libraries/joomla/database/driver.php:315 Stack trace: #0 /libraries/joomla/factory.php(631): JDatabaseDriver::getInstance(Array) #1 /libraries/joomla/factory.php(329): JFactory::createDbo() #2 /libraries/joomla/session/storage/database.php(69): JFactory::getDbo() #3 [internal function]: JSessionStorageDatabase->write('e8c213614afecab...', '') #4 [internal function]: session_write_close() #5 {main} thrown in /libraries/joomla/database/driver.php on line 315

when trying to use mysqli:
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL.

Hi Guys,

I have a Notice: Array to string conversion in registry.php line 342

I have install xampp7.2.7 and the template is Joomla 2.5

I have solved all the over errors but is stuck with this one.

The current code in the .php file is:

325 // Explode the registry path into an array
325 if ($nodes = explode('.', $path))
327 {
328 // Initialize the current node to be the registry root.
329 $node = $this->data;
330
331 // Traverse the registry to find the correct node for the result.
332 for ($i = 0, $n = count($nodes) - 1; $i < $n; $i++)
333 {
334 if (!isset($node->$nodes[$i]) && ($i != $n))
335 {
336 $node->$nodes[$i] = new stdClass;
337 }
338 $node = $node->$nodes[$i];
339 }
340
341 // Get the old value if exists so we can return it
342 $result = $node->$nodes[$i] = $value;
343 }
344
345 return $result;

Thank you

and the template is Joomla 2.5
