Additional context
This error is on php 8.2, I resolved the issue by changing a function in lib/PageRender.php starting on line 920 to:
protected function getAutoPostPasswordAttribute($attribute, $i) {
// Extract the string data from the PasswordAttribute object
$attributeString = $attribute->getValue(0); // Using index 0 as an example
// If the attribute is null or already encoded, return early
if ($attributeString === null || preg_match('/^\{.+\}.+/', $attributeString)) {
return;
}
// Otherwise, proceed with password encryption and post
$attribute->setPostValue(array('function'=>'PasswordEncrypt','args'=>sprintf('%%enc%%;%%%s%%', $attribute->getName())));
$this->get('Post', $attribute, $i);
}
