I was looking for a solution to this error after a clean upgrade to 3.3.3, thanks for the information, it's ok now.

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.

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.

[Kailey]

Thanks for confirming! I've updated the first post to reflect this information.

[VeganFanatic]

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

I've split off topic discussion about waiting to update when bugs are present to here.
