ZF1-Future Issues

[addison74]

I am opening this post for discussing issues found in using ZF1-Future framework. In other post #2194 I created a comparison between OM-20 and ZF1-Future files. What worries me are the custom changes made by the Magento team in /app/code/core/Zend.

For testing use the following:

• OM-20 latest
• https://github.com/Shardj/zf1-future latest
• change directory names for "/app/code/core/Zend" and "/lib/Zend" to keep them there untouched
• take from zf1-future-release archive this directory /library/Zend and copy it in /lib/Zend

if you encounter problems please post them here with all the details.

OM-20.14 + Magento Sample Pack.

Both Frontend and Backend won't load without these two files /app/code/core/Zend/Db/Select.php and Statement.php. In browser you will get "This page isn't working" HTTP ERROR 500 and there is not line in webserver error log.

Right now in /app/code/core/Zend there is only Db directory. Otherwise the others have changed their name and I did not encounter any issues. Most likely I don't think we will be able to get rid of a ZF1-Future custom version that will be maintained in /app/code/core like Magento team did it before.

Let's pay attention to the deprecated section https://php.watch/versions/8.2 for "PHP 8.2: Mbstring: Base64, Uuencode, QPrint, and HTML Entity encodings are deprecated".

Function mb_convert_encoding is used in /lib/Zend and /lib/Pelago. I haven't checked ZF1-Future yet, but they will definitely make the necessary changes. We should think about moving in the direction of ZF1-Future at least for /lib/Zend, then make the custom version in /app/code/core/Zend (without it OM does not work).

For removing deprecated utf8_encode() there is a PR here #2404.

I've created Shardj/zf1-future#252 for zf1-future

Pelago is already adding support for PHP 8.2 MyIntervals/emogrifier#1163

If I'm not mistaken there are no occurrencies of Base64, Uuencode, QPrint, and HTML Entity encodings:

I used https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts/search?q=mb_convert_encoding to get the search results for OpenMage. For the other functions I did not search yet.

My opinion that the changes to 8.2 do not require great efforts like those when it went from 7 to 8. Maybe there are still undiscovered issues with version 8.1, but if it is not put to work we will never know about them. There in production is the biggest test.

Meanwhile ZF-Future became part of OpenMage.
