JEvents error with PHP 8 and PHP 8.1

Can you enable Joomla debug mode so we can see where this is being incorrectly used

This is being displayed when debug mode is enabled

geraint you have a space after the lt in the third operand on this line.

Also, I noticed a number of version_compares for PHP_VERSION of 5.3 where the comparison operator is not present. This is OK based on what is allowed however you might consider changing these for consistency. I haven't looked at RSVP.

thanks skurvish - that is indeed the problem. I'll fix it for the next release (tomorrow probably)

Hello there,
I have a Problem with my Joomla 3.10.11 page - JEVents 3.6.43 and PHP 8.

When I use 7.X everything is fine, when I change to 8 there ist only a note:
count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, int given

How can I fix this?

Thanks for Help!

Please can you :
1. Enable Joomla debug mode
2. Recreate the problem
3. Give us the full context of the error - i.e. what you are doing to create the problem and also what the debug output tells you about the file where the problem arises

Thanks - here what I did:

updatedet JEvents -

On PHP 7 there is the debug info:

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /homepages/11/d470601799/htdocs/cms2017/plugins/jevents/jevfiles/jevfiles.php on line 1200

When I switch to PHP 8 there is just a blanc screen (on all the pages with JEvents AND the index.php!!!) with the info:
count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, int given


Nothing else.

KKunz Is your version of the standard images and files addon up to date? There is no use of the count() function near line 1200 of jevfiles.php

Thanks for the hint! I updated all the plugins - and the JEvents Pages work now
strangely the error stays on the index page though... which wasn't the case before..
count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, int given

error is coming from
