Deprecated Functionality: str_replace() with Magento 2.4.7-p2 and php 8.1 and 8.3 as required

Question

I have a new installation of magento (haven't gone live yet) and just upgraded to the latest 2.4.7-p2 version. I have followed all the system requirements and upgraded from php v8.1 to 8.3 as required by the magento system requirements. When I was testing the checkout process I was presented with a server error and the following in the exception log.

I've seen other mention similar error but none with the original magento modules. Did i miss something during the upgrade where it's still using old depricated functions?

It seems this issue shouldn't be happening with an install following the published system requirements. The admin is properly reporting the v. 2.4.7-p2 which leads me to believe the upgrade is complete.

Is this a common issue with this version?

• Steven Lutz: it seems this issue is a result of using zend instead of laminas. I'm unsure of how to remoze the zend modules and repplace with the proper ones. I'm still unsure how the zend modules are even in here being that they were decricated in magento 2.4.3 and installd 2.4.6 fresh. I'm so confused when it comes to using composer.

Answer 1

This issue occurs when str_replace is being passed a null value in your code. To identify which module is causing this, you can use the following command to search for the str_replace function in your custom module and Theme:

bash
grep -r "str_replace"

Run this in command prompt in your app/code or app/design directory, and then review the file where it's used. Ensure that you check whether the variable being passed has a value before applying the str_replace function. If necessary, add a validation check for the variable before using str_replace.

• Steven Lutz: Based on the full error message, it seems that the issue is in one of the frameowrk files from magento. Why would this be an issue if I' using the recommended versions of all software as published by magneto?
• Grazitti Dev: As previously mentioned, the issue arises because you have an upgraded version of Magento, but some modules are still passing null values, which is causing the problem. For example, if you run Magento with the default settings and modules, you won't encounter any issues.
• Steven Lutz: how can I tell what module is throwing the error? It seems to me that the error is the framework of megento and not in any installed module as mentioned here: [2024年09月16日T12:22:44.976431+00:00] main.CRITICAL: Exception: Deprecated Functionality: str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated in /var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magento/zend-db/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Abstract.php on line 1044 in /var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magento/framework/App/ErrorHandler.php:62 I haven't done any heavy modifications. just a theme and a payment option.
• Grazitti Dev: You just need to check in you custom module and theme for str_replace which was causing the issue.
• Steven Lutz: the str functions are appearing in modules that aren't customer. it'spart of the zend framework which was supposed to be all moved to laminas by now. I'm stll really puzzled as to why this is happening. I shouldn't have to edit anything if everything is up to date, right?

Answer 2

If you are in developer mode, you should be able to see the full stack trace on the var/log/debug.log file.

If you don't find it there, you might resolve to go into the vendor/magento/framework/App/ErrorHandler.php and on the beginning of the function (line function 47) add a debug_print_backtrace(); to get the full stack trace on the error. This way you can see where this is been triggered and reach to the correct location to fix.

Make sure you have the error reporting set correctly on your php configuration so you can see the error on the browser.

• Steven Lutz: Here is the entry from the debug.log file which is where I got the error from the OP. It seems the issue is in Abstract.php which isn't related to any plgin that I have put in as far as I can tell. I have updated the OP with the full debug.log entry
• Steven Lutz: I have found that I have a lot of dependancies that are out of date with 'composer outdated'. I don't understand how this happneed as my magento install is only 2 months old. When I try to update with: composer install they don't update. Please advise
• Serfe: compose install will use your current composer.lock entries (as expected). Using composer update should bring the packages to a newer version inside your dependencies restrictions.
• Serfe: In this case the code is magento core but is loaded from the generated section. Have you tried to remove that directory contents completely and run the mangeot setup:di:compile again?
• Steven Lutz: does composer update edit the composer.json file to allow newe versions of listed packaes? please elaborate on composer install, vs composer update.

Answer 3

it seems like that module PayPal\Braintree\Plugin may be causing this issue, check the version in composer.json of module.

In "require" check if "php" has ur version used.

• Steven Lutz: braintree isn't mentioned in the composer.json file at all.
• Steven Lutz: I have removed the Braintree modules.

Answer 4

I ended up reinstalling the OS from scratch and therefore installing Magento from scratch. The best thing that I can figure out about my issues in my original install is that there was a dependancy version issue that was pulling some old code that included the STR_replace function. Quite the frustrating situation. Lots of time was wasted.

In my new install, everything is working fine.
