array syntax - MediaWiki-l

14 Feb 2023

Hello,

I have some array declarations in my LocalSettings.php from many years ago
that I am worried may not be compatible with PHP 8+. When I try to run
/maintenance/update.php in PHP 8.1 I get errors. It runs fine in PHP 7.4.3,
fortunately. However, is it okay to set arrays like this in PHP 8+?:

$wgSitemapNamespaces = array( 0, 100, 102 );

Thank you :)

-----example from my LocalSettings.php-----

# Site Map see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSitemapNamespaces
#$wgSitemapNamespaces = array( 0, 2, 4, 12 );  # example, to site map
Main-0, User-2, Project-4, Help-12 namespace
$wgSitemapNamespaces = array( 0, 100, 102 );  # let's site map ONLY Main,
Essay, Lesson namespace

## Extra namespaces
$wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "Lesson";
$wgExtraNamespaces[101] = "Lesson_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[102] = "Essay";
$wgExtraNamespaces[103] = "Essay_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[104] = "Debate";
$wgExtraNamespaces[105] = "Debate_talk";

## Enable subpages in all namespaces
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array_fill(0, 200, true);
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = false; # per Duncan request Jan 11,
2022
