Hi

There were some fixes that makes this lib working with PHP8(#575). PHP7.4 is near it is EOL.
Could we get new release of this awesome lib to use it with PHP8?

Thanks!

Still waiting.

Please, launch a new release. I had issues with this library with latest 0.8.11 since I'm using PHP 8.0 as well.

For anyone wanting a quick & stable solution, this is how to let Composer know about using this library, without using the last master commit (which could cause you troubles):

composer require "lusitanian/oauth:dev-master#ee5a83310c6014b6cc07ac0610ec9d67ba452664 as 0.8.12

This is using a know version of the library that has the patch to make it compatible with PHP 8.0 (at least, it works for me in my use case escenario).

Anyway, lets hope for a release, although it's been a long time without one...

Is anybody there?

[carlos-mg89]

I've just published a package with identical content of the PHP 8 fix of this library here: composer require carlos-mg89/oauth

Might not be ideal, but this could fix your troubles.

@carlos-mg89 Thanks but we need it for phpBB. I could do that the same in case.

[carlos-mg89]

I'm aware that this is far form perfect. Just a temporary solution that it might work for some people until there's a final release (hopefully it'll happen).

[3D-I]

Indeed. much appreciated anyway. 👍🏼

I know it's a bit old discussion but will there be a new version released for php8+ support on packagist ?

Is it time to move to a successor fork for PHPoAuthLib? I don't think @daviddesberg (formerly @lusitanian it looks like) is active here (apologies if I'm wrong!).

It looks like @carlos-mg89's fork carlos-mg89/oauth is a reasonable contender.

[carlos-mg89]

Happy to help with the fork I initiated, and will be very keen reviewing any PRs to keep it up-to-date with proposed changes.

Of course, anyone that would like to be a maintainer aside than myself is more than welcome.

[samwilson]

@carlos-mg89 are you still keen to maintain your fork? If not, it looks like perhaps @palpalani has one that's more up to date (not that I've looked into the actual changes much).

@carlos-mg89 Would it be possible to provide an update or a conclusion on this matter? It would help the consumers of this package make a more informed decision about the best approach to address this issue.

[carlos-mg89]

Hi @glo71317 . I've kept relatively up-to-date my fork over here: https://github.com/carlos-mg89/PHPoAuthLib

It has PHP 8 compatibility. And the last time there was a release is 5 months ago.

If you have any issues with it, please send an issue or pull request asking / providing changes to make it better. But do not expect big changes. I mainly created it to bypass the non-existing support from the original PHPOAuthLib package.

@carlos-mg89 thanks for let me know, if you want to address the Explicit nullable type for PHP 8.4 support then you can check this commit https://github.com/daviddesberg/PHPoAuthLib/pull/598/files#diff-4335051264e39e77732813d11c5cc908b17cf66edcf6d5c84fdb6c5c0994a7a0R27
