For everyone affected by this... Rector has a "solution" via
NullToStrictStringFuncCallArgRector.
It has a list of 275 functions (442 parameters), and every time these functions
are used, and Rector isn't sure a variable cannot be NULL, it will add a string
type cast, e.g.
- <?= htmlspecialchars($var) ?>
+ <?= htmlspecialchars((string) $var) ?>
So yeah, it's very messy, and while I think it makes the code worse, at least
it's one way to avoid the fatal errors (coming in 9.0).
Oh, and developers can easily re-introduce more "problems" (because they might
not be aware which variables can be NULL), so Rector will need to re-run.
I'm also tempted to create a composer library to provide a second solution, by
using a namespace to re-define these functions, e.g.
<?php
namespace null_coercion_fixer;
function strlen(?string $string): int {
return \strlen(\strval($string));
}
?>
Have fun,
Craig
