Just checked and...

Swift Mailer will stop being maintained at the end of November 2021.

Please, move to Symfony Mailer at your earliest convenience. Symfony Mailer is the next evolution of Swift Mailer. It provides the same features with support for modern PHP code and support for third-party providers.

this is the current issue I am facing....

I have encountered an error with PHP8.2 and Swiftmailer

#7122 - E_DEPRECATED: strtolower(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated
/XXXXX/public_html/cmsb/3rdParty/SwiftMailer5/classes/Swift/Transport/Esmtp/AuthHandler.php (line 251)

Hi Zaba, 

Thanks for the report.  You can try hiding that deprecated error by adding a @ before strtolower as follows: 

/cmsb/3rdParty/SwiftMailer5/classes/Swift/Transport/Esmtp/AuthHandler.php (line 251)

        if (!$mode = @strtolower($this->_auth_mode ?? '')) {

Deprecated errors just mean the feature may be removed in the future.  

The mailer is due to be upgraded sometime soon, Symfony Mailer requires a lot of dependencies (many other libraries would need to be packaged with CMSB) and PHP 8.1 which everyone isn't on yet, but we're going to start looking into replacement options.

I am all for using symphony components. I already use some of them for my websites based on CMSB. 

I use YAML and TWIG components particularly.

Hi Zaba,

We're just about to release the next version and I'll get these patched for that.  If you get any errors with the new version let me know.

Thank you!

That's great Dave, I had to downgrade to PHP 7.4 as the job was about to go live. But I have many sites to upgrade in the coming months so will have the opportunity to test this very soon.

Sorry Dave,

I have been up against it.

I have done a clean install of the latest release of CMSB 3_58_build2316 On PHP 8.2,

Added email credentials to "Email Settings" in CMSB and performed a Password Reset. 

I can confirm that no errors were reported and everything works perfectly!

Thanks again Dave
