Array and String Offset Access Syntax with Curly Braces Is Deprecated

Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated

It's really simple to fix the issue, however keep in mind that you should fork and commit your changes for each library you are using in their repositories to help others as well.

Let's say you have something like this in your code:

$str = "test";
echo($str{0});

since PHP 7.4 curly braces method to get individual characters inside a string has been deprecated, so change the above syntax into this:

$str = "test";
echo($str[0]);

Fixing the code in the question will look something like this:

public function getRecordID(string $zoneID, string $type = '', string $name = ''): string
{
    $records = $this->listRecords($zoneID, $type, $name);
    if (isset($records->result[0]->id)) {
        return $records->result[0]->id;
    }
    return false;
}

PHPExcel Error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated

This can be fix by replacing the curly braces {} with square brackets []

I would like to give credit to the @HeySora who made the comment and pointed out the exact issue in this particular case.

Repeated error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported with phpmyadmin

Your phpMyAdmin version, 4.6.6, was released in 2017 and is quite old. In fact, it doesn't work with any PHP newer than 7.1, which is probably the cause of your problems.

You'll need to download the newer version and uncompress the file in to your web root folder (depending on your distribution and web server, /var/www/phpmyadmin or /var/www/html/phpmyadmin are likely locations, although of course you can tweak the folder name based on your preference).

https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#quick-install has more information about manually installing phpMyAdmin.

Missing file from Vista ProgramData folder

This is because of folder redirection in Windows Vista. If you do not normally have the rights to write something into the C:\Program Files-folder, Vista will silently redirect those writes into a "secret" folder inside your user directory. The file will still be visible for the user who created the file (and any programs running as that user), but it will not be visible for anyone else. So your program is probably running as a different user than Explorer is, and thus Explorer cannot see it.

See the following output from dir /aL on my Vista 64-bit machine:

C:\ProgramData>dir /aL
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 74DB-58F8

The feature is known as reparse points or junctions, depending on where you read about them. They are very similar to symbolic links in Unix.
