Arma3 on php 8.0 gives a deprecation notice

[silent001]

On PHP 8.0 I get a depreciation notice as follows:

<b>Deprecated</b>: Invalid characters passed for attempted conversion, these have been ignored in <b>/var/www/public/src/GameQ/Protocols/Arma3.php</b> on line <b>156</b><br />

This is referenced in the php manual here for the hexdec() function in php 7.4 and up `

Version	Description
7.4.0	Passing invalid characters will now generate a deprecation notice. The result will still be computed as if the invalid characters did not exist.

`

A dirty workaround is to put the following line near the top of the file:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);

Not sure the correct workaround to fix this for all versions of php as the manual does not say much

Can you provide a working example of when this notice is thrown? It appears is the the code deciphering the steam_id server info property. Has this value changed?

Is this not a duplicate of #546 ?

I can give you a working Arma 3 server to query.

$IP = ddns.silentmecha.co.za
$PORT = 2302

Afaik it wont work due to the reason in the liked issue (if you are on PHP >=7.4) and there will be issues with DLC since the hashes do change on update and they are outdated here (this was an issue for my ArmA3 server some months ago).
