I found this in the nginx error log

[root@Rompr nginx]# cat error.log

well that's disturbing.

What version of PHP are you running? A more detailed debug log would also help.

The error message implies that the behaviour of fetchAll() is not consistent between different installtions of PHP, because I'm not passing it an integer, and I have never passed it an integer....

Another thing you could look at, if you go to the Personalised Radio panel and click on the drop down menu for Genre or Tracks By Artist, do you get a drop down menu or do you get nothing?

I'm running on Archlinux

php -v reports the folowing

PHP 8.0.2 (cli) (built: Feb 2 2021 18:26:02) ( NTS )

If I click drop downs for Genere or Tracks by artist I get nothing

I'll get a debug log later on today (busy busy ... !!)

Thanks that's probably enough info. I'm still on php 7.

Seems like PHP 8 has changed something fundamental internally but never thought to warn anybody. I've checked the docs and it's a simple fix, but not sure when I'll get around to it. Look out for version 1.53

Debug option set to level 7

At https://www.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.fetchall.php

i found the following comment although I dont understand it !!!

There is a breaking change upgrading from PHP<7.4 to PHP 8.0. If your class extend PDOStatement, the PHP 8.0 typed prototype is incompatible :

• PHP 7.4 = public PDOStatement::fetchAll ([ int $fetch_style [, mixed $fetch_argument [, array $ctor_args = array() ]]] ) : array
• PHP 8.0 = public PDOStatement::fetchAll ([ int $mode = PDO::FETCH_BOTH[, mixed ...$args] ]) : array

While they are compatible for a human being, PHP is not enjoying it :

• PHP 7.4 = PHP Warning: Declaration of (your class prototype) should be compatible with (PDOStatement's prototype)
• PHP 8.0 = [PhpCompileError] Declaration of (your class prototype) must be comptable with (PDOStatement's prototype)

Because the first one is a warning, it is not fatal, and you might be happy using PHP 8.0's prototype. My personal solution was to stop extending PDOStatement and thus rewrite associated typing declarations and conditions.

Sorry came back in and hadnt noticed your comment that you already had enough info

No problem. Try 1.53, just uploaded.

Thanks for your quick response

everything seems to be working correctly :)

will this version work on both php 7 and php 8 ?

will this version work on both php 7 and php 8.

I hope so :D
