Deprecation notices with PHP 8.1+

  • I would like to report some deprecation warnings in this plugin when using PHP 8.1 and 8.2. They all come from the one file admin/colour/lessc.inc.php. A proper fix might be to update to a newer version of that file. See here: https://github.com/leafo/lessphp/issues/660

    I try to keep my error log clean so I can discover and fix actual errors. With that in mind, since I am not sure whether this plugin is being actively maintained, here are the error log notices and the quick fixes I made to silence them.

    Notice in PHP 8.1+:

    PHP Deprecated: Implicit conversion from float 43026.0703125 to int loses precision in /wp-content/plugins/aquila-admin-theme/admin/colour/lessc.inc.php on line 1480

    A quick intval() added to line?1480 takes care of it: 

    $t = intval($num) % $width;

    Notice in PHP 8.1+:

    PHP Deprecated: preg_match(): Passing null to parameter #4 ($flags) of type int is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/aquila-admin-theme/admin/colour/lessc.inc.php on line 3401

    Changing the null to 0 in lines?3401 solved it, and the same situation is also in lines?3413 and 3432.

    Several notices of this type in occur in PHP 8.2:

    Creation of dynamic property lessc::$formatterName is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/aquila-admin-theme/admin/colour/lessc.inc.php on line 1949

    I suppose the properties should be explicitly declared, but I just silenced the error by putting #[\AllowDynamicProperties] above the class definition at line?40.
