Fixes issue with admin preferences not being respected or no linking occurring.
Prefs now moved out of core and into plugin prefs.
Test page added to admin area.
Relationship field added.
e_tohtml.php deprecated in favor of e_parse.php
Tests updated.
* `strftime()` has been replaced with a polyfill based on `DateTime`.
* Explicit type casts/assertions added where required by PHP 8.1
* `filter_var(…, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING)` replaced with `strip_tags()`
or HTML entity encoding of quotation marks, depending on a guess of
what the intended "sanitization" was
* `http_build_query()` usage type mismatches fixed
* Removed usages of the `FILE_TEXT` constant
* To avoid breaking PHP 5.6 compatibility (function return types),
`e_session_db` no longer implements `SessionHandlerInterface`.
Instead, the alternative non-OOP invocation of
`session_set_save_handler()` is used instead to apply the session
handler.
* The shim for `strptime()` still calls the native function if available
but now suppresses the deprecation warning.
* `e_db_pdo` explicitly asks for `PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES` to
maintain consistent behavior with past versions of PHP.
* `e_db_mysql` explicitly sets `mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_OFF)` to
maintain consistent behavior with past versions of PHP.
* Removed pointless random number generator seed from `banner` plugin
* Workaround for `COUNT(*)` SQL query in
`validatorClass::dbValidateArray()` without a proper API for avoiding
SQL injection
`e_parse::toJS()`, documented with the description
> Convert text blocks which are to be embedded within JS
, does not protect strings from injections, which appears to be its
primary use. Additionally, it performs multiple unrelated string
modifications:
* Replace Windows line breaks with a literal `\\n` (which would later be
parsed as `\n` in JavaScript/JSON)
* Does not modify Unix line breaks (`\n`), which is inconsistent with
the Windows line break behavior
* Removes HTML tags
* Replaces HTML entities as `htmlentities()` does
This method cannot be fixed because its usages are inconsistent. Most
notably, some usages surround the method's output in single quotes while
others surround it with double quotes. Strings cannot be JSON-encoded
without confounding quotation mark styles.
All core usages of `e_parse::toJS()` have been replaced with
alternatives, which are also documented in the method's DocBlock.
Fixes: #4546
