Hi,

I recently upgraded to PHP 8.09 and noticed my jqGrids were not working. They worked on all previous versions of PHP. After some investigation, I found that the demo code uses a PHP class object $responce which does not exist or has not been instantiated. the code fails with “Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Attempt to assign property “page” on null ”

The code is based on the trirand server demo code code for loading JSON data from a MySQL server.

Please see “A number of warnings have been converted into Error exceptions” at https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration80.incompatible.php

• Attempting to write to a property of a non-object. Previously this implicitly created an stdClass object for null, false and empty strings.
• Attempting to access unqualified constants which are undefined. Previously, unqualified constant accesses resulted in a warning and were interpreted as strings.

All of this means the jqGrid demo code on trirand will fail using PHP 8+. There doesn’t appear to be a php.ini setting to turn these exceptions off. Please let me know what the best approach would be to work around this problem. If you could provide some code using $responce as an array that would help.

Thanks
