[Postfixadmin-devel] Postfixadmin 3.1 - Fixing after upgrade from Deb 11 to 12

[Sophie L. <so...@kl...>]

Hi everybody,

I had a working postfixadmin v 3.1 (sqlite3,nginx) installation until I upgraded from Debian 11 to 12 and along with this php 7.4 to php 8.2.    

Afterwards, I got a blank screen when hitting the postfixadmin login.php.

The error is: 
2023/06/12 18:51:11 [error] 3799#3799: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /var/www/mx989.example.int/functions.inc.php on line 697" while reading response header from upstream, client: 12.24.32.82, server: mx989.example.int, request: "GET /login.php HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock:", host: "mx989.example.int"

   for ($i = 0; $i < $j; ++$i) {
        switch ($string{$i}) {
            case '=':
            case '<':
            case '>':
            case ',':
            case '?':
            case '_':
                if ($iEncStart === false) {
                    $iEncStart = $i;



I could just upgrade from 3.1 to 3.3.13, but I don't know if this would mend the problem. Potentially it could if brackets are out of fashion :-0

Thx,
So.
