Deprecated: htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated

[JohnnyLouweret]

Getting the following on php8.1

Deprecated: htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated

  $result = $pdf
           ->fillForm($data) <------ here

   protected function xmlEncode($value)
   {
       return defined('ENT_XML1') ?
           htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_XML1, 'UTF-8') :
           htmlspecialchars($value);
   }

Anything we can do about this?

It seems you have null as values in your $data. Can you confirm that? If that's the case, we can probably just skip those values.

[JohnnyLouweret]

Not entirely sure right now, but it seems more likely that some values in the array have null values as I cannot return null.

->fill($data->toArray())
function toArray(): array

[
    'firstName' => null,
    'lastName' => 'some name'
]

Can you check if the fix in PR #316 works for you?

@JohnnyLouweret Is there any news here? Were you able to test it?

Closing this as there was no further feedback.
