Fatal error in `WPConnectionType` when calling `str_ends_with()` on PHP < 8.0 about wp-graphql

[jj449]

my environment :

wordpress version : 5.6.10
php 7.3.31

I found it's related to php version ， from php error message ， str_ends_with() undefined , and str_ends_with() start from php 8.
So if your php version lower than 8.0 , you encounter this error .

How to fix it? Since php 7.x without str_ends_with() , you must make one to php to run correctly :

in wp-content/plugins/wp-graphql/src/Type/WPConnectionType.php , find line 238 , that's where problem from , add below check before line 238
if (!function_exists('str_ends_with')) { function str_ends_with($haystack, $needle) { return $needle !== '' ? substr($haystack, -strlen($needle)) === $needle : true; } }

save WPConnectionType.php , then try to reach end point again , or run IDE from wordpress's left side menu. Now it works ~ Hope this help someone.

the final get_edge_interfaces function in WPConnectionType.php , should be like this :

WordPress provides this as a polyfill in 5.9+ but looks like WPCS isn't catching it because a different dev-deps is installing symfony's polyfill.

@jj449

1. Can you please provide the exact PHP and WordPress version you are using? I want to make sure other things arent getting by the code sniffs.
2. In the interim, instead of modifying the plugin and sticking that function definition inside a foreach loop, you should put the entire if ( ! function_exists(.....){ ...} into your own functions.php file.

" you should put the entire bla bla fix codes into your own functions.php file "
