It's not only ugly code ;) To make your program/application/library 8.1 compatible using that codepattern requires en effort, but brings close to zero improvement, except being 8.1 compatible. So the net effect is negative.Important correction: that change is to make your codebase PHP 9.0 compatible, not PHP 8.1 compatible. That is the point of deprecation notices, to give advance warning that something will become incompatible in the future; when you act on that notice is up to you, and not in any sense about "compatibility" with the version that raises the notice. (For my thoughts on the rest of what you're saying, see every other message I've sent to this thread.) Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
