Using XAMPP I am trying to install a pear extension (phpuml) but all I got were errors:
Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported
It appeared to me, that my efforts were fruitless because the pear code was not up to date. I changed every line of code containing the old syntax with the curly braces to the new brackets. After some iterations of trial and error I got some sugar. It was a new error:
Too few arguments to function error_handler(), 4 passed and exactly 5 expected (...more blah)
Now I am not the guy to try and fix some mayor issue in someone elses code because I am simply either too dumb or not knowledgable enough to fix such a huge project.
So I was trying to update pear but with this last error I couldn't even use some updating function. What can I do now? And isn't it bad that XAMPP comes with a deprecated version of pear installed?
