Hi there,
Thanks a lot for providing this fix.
After upgrading from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 I had the issue that I could not access the ACP general page. Everything else, including the rest of the ACP was working.
After adding this line of code to phpBB/includes/functions_admin.php as describd in Github I can access the ACP general page again.

But now I see the message " ERROR_DEFAULT_CHARSET ERROR_DEFAULT_CHARSET_EXPLAIN"

What does this mean, and how can that be fixed? Does anyone else have this?

Sorry, if this is the wrong place. I can also create a separate topic for this including the support template, if that is better for you.

Thanks a lot in advance for your support!

This is most likely due to changing type of $topic_row['REPLIES'] in extensions which should remain integer. This can be fixed by typecasting the value either in in extension or in the core (like (int) $topic_row['REPLIES'] + 1). The latter way would be more a protection measure from what might be happening with the value in extensions.

The REPLIES was overwritten by my extension to place a url link for an ajax call. typecasting wouldn't have fixed it, so I used a different event and altered the template block.

....
Same issue to me if I switch to PHP 8.0.1.
Switched back to PHP 7.4.3 and everything is ok.
Best regards from Outi .... ;) :D

I was reading this and wanted to mention that PHP 8.x is buggy with WordPress as well as phpBB

Hi
For Wordpress no I do not encounter any problem with php 8.0, on the other hand it is possible that some plu-ins are not compatible.
For phpBB no problem either.

Just confirming the bug in the first post affects databases with a dot in the name too, the solution posted fixes it.

all of the databases on my server are text names only and MySQL 8 is what I am using with PHP 7.4.x


PHP 8 is probably going to be fixed soon to repair the problem as the dot, underscore and hyphen are common with some database servers
