Decimal comma & PHP8.0

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi there,
      I was testing Moodle on PHP8.0 and I've encountered a bug. Our language uses a decimal comma, and this can be by PHP interpreted as string. In PHP 8, as stated here, function round() no longer auto-typecast objects, and this can result in fatal error. One confirmed place is in the "Grade item" page (/grade/edit/tree/item.php). If a number with decimal comma is submitted, user gets following error:

      round(): Argument #1 ($num) must be of type int|float, string given
          line 1599 of /lib/gradelib.php: TypeError thrown
          line 1599 of /lib/gradelib.php: call to round()
          line 1612 of /lib/gradelib.php: call to grade_floatval()
          line 469 of /grade/edit/tree/item_form.php: call to grade_floats_different()
          line 653 of /lib/formslib.php: call to edit_item_form->validation()
          line 589 of /lib/formslib.php: call to moodleform->validate_defined_fields()
          line 699 of /lib/formslib.php: call to moodleform->is_validated()
          line 112 of /grade/edit/tree/item.php: call to moodleform->get_data()
      

      I would like to ask; has the compatibility of decimal commas been verified in PHP 8 in any way?
      For now, we'll just add typecasting in the code; but it would be good to fix this.

      Thank you for your response.
