PHP 8.2 Deprecated function: Function utf8_decode()

Created on 29 February 2024, almost 2 years ago

On PHP8.2 I caught a warning
Deprecated function: Function utf8_decode() is deprecated in field_encrypt_decrypt()

Switch to PHP8.2, go to any page containng filed encryption, check dblog

I would suggest to make
function_exists('mb_convert_encoding') ? mb_convert_encoding($string, 'ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8') : $string;

Why the call to function_exists()? mb_convert_encoding() has been in PHP for ages.
