Review PHP deprecation notices with PHP 8.1+ about site-kit-wp

[jansudek]

last time there is only one that error:
E_DEPRECATED strtotime(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($datetime) of type string is deprecated in file /wp-content/plugins/google-site-kit/includes/Modules/Analytics_4/Report.php on line 112
other e_deprecated is not seen anyway..
PHP 8.1 and newer
still in Site Kit by Google v1.125.0
error showed for example at /wp-admin/ (Dashboard) Site Kit Summary

[jansudek]

there is NO 'compareStartDate' and 'compareEndDate' in keys :

1. Google\Site_Kit\Core\REST_API\Data_Request::__set_state(array( 'method' => 'GET', 'type' => 'modules', 'identifier' => 'analytics-4', 'datapoint' => 'report', 'data' => array ( 'slug' => 'analytics-4', 'datapoint' => 'report', 'metrics' => array ( 0 => array ( 'name' => 'screenPageViews', ), ), 'dimensions' => array ( 0 => array ( 'name' => 'pagePath', ), ), 'startDate' => '2024-03-26', 'endDate' => '2024-04-22', 'orderby' => array ( 0 => array ( 'metric' => array ( 'metricName' => 'screenPageViews', ), 'desc' => 'true', ), ), 'limit' => '5', '_locale' => 'user', ), 'key' => NULL, ))

2. Google\Site_Kit\Core\REST_API\Data_Request::__set_state(array( 'method' => 'GET', 'type' => 'modules', 'identifier' => 'analytics-4', 'datapoint' => 'report', 'data' => array ( 'slug' => 'analytics-4', 'datapoint' => 'report', 'metrics' => array ( 0 => array ( 'name' => 'screenPageViews', ), ), 'dimensions' => array ( 0 => array ( 'name' => 'pagePath', ), 1 => array ( 'name' => 'pageTitle', ), ), 'startDate' => '2024-03-26', 'endDate' => '2024-04-22', 'dimensionFilters' => array ( 'pagePath' => array ( 0 => '/', 1 => '/tym/2016/pardubicka-rota/', 2 => '/tym/2018/alfa-skvadra-tym-dynamickejch-cuprstar-sekacskejch-vlkousu/', 3 => '/tym/2022/', 4 => '/tym/2022/konska-hlava-na-skrini-2/', ), ), 'orderby' => array ( 0 => array ( 'metric' => array ( 'metricName' => 'screenPageViews', ), 'desc' => 'true', ), ), 'limit' => '25', '_locale' => 'user', ), 'key' => NULL, ))

I do have a similar error that only appears when Site Kit is active, and the error doesn't reference any Site Kit files:
Deprecated: ltrim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/vhosts/plastiskip.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 4494

This is on a test site and it occurs with only SK active.

• WP 6.5.3
• SK 1.127.0
• No browser console errors
• No obvious cause when checking SH status
• No invalid XHR response

Recording of my experience.

In order to create this error, I had to enable Dashboard Sharing with an editor profile. The error only occurs for this editor. The error also exists with only SC active. Happy to share a login for test purposes.

In my case also, this could be related to my server setup, given I see the below at present for my admin user. Rather than being server related, it's IPv6 related as when I enable the IPv6 plugin, the dashboard loads once more.
