Attempt to assign property “%s” on null¶
Description¶
null
is not an object, and it can’t be used as such. Until PHP 8.0, the engine would automatically create a stdClass
object, and replace the null
value with it. This is not the case anymore.
Example¶
<?php
$a = null;
$a->b = 1;
?>
Literal Examples¶
Attempt to assign property “b” on null
Solutions¶
Instantiate any object and replace
null
with it.Explicitly instantiate a
stdClass`
object and replacenull
with it.Remove the property usage.
Use another variable to use this property.
In previous PHP versions, this error message used to be Creating default object from empty value.
