1.2.818. No Null For Native PHP Functions¶
Null is not acceptable anymore as an argument, for PHP native functions that require a non-nullable argument.
Until PHP 8.1, it was magically turned into an empty string.
<?php
$haystack = 'abc';
// $needle was omitted...
echo strpos($haystack, $needle);
?>
See also PHP RFC: Deprecate passing null to non-nullable arguments of internal functions.
