Under some linux versions, and depending of the configured
locale categories, it's possible to get a current locally
which length > 255 when calling to setlocale(LC_ALL, 0).
Later, if that long locale is tried to be restored, there
is a "setlocale(): Specified locale name is too long" warning
error.
When that happens we need to split the long locale into
individual chunks and set all the (six) locale categories
supported one by one.
Covered with tests, note that, in practice, this only
happens with linux because it supports 12 locale categories
@ OS level. Both BSD (6) and Windows (5) hardly can reach the limit.
No matter of that, the tests have been designed to ensure that
they pass on all OSs, just the new code only will be executed
on linux.
This commit adds an additional environment check for the unsupported
PHP 8.1 version to Moodle 3.9.x, 3.11.x and 4.0.x.
It also updates the lang string for unsupported PHP version.

The assumption that the settings checkbox always stores boolean values
(e.g. 0/1) isn't correct. The `perfdebug` configuration instead uses
the values 7/15.
Default value of the $flag argument changed in PHP 8.1 from ENT_COMPAT to ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE
To ensure consistent behavior across different PHP version the second parameter is now required for the functions:
htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities(), htmlspecialchars_decode(), html_entity_decode() and get_html_translation_table()
Including in this commit:
- Convert existing Behat scenario to use Data generators
- Convert existing Behat scenario to use Provider
- Add new scenario for Include users setting in General restore page
This partially reverts MDL-73270, where some useful environmental
checks and notifications in the admin UI were added to inform
about different parts of Moodle relying on the "unsupported"
php-xmlrpc extension.
Since then, some changes have happened in core, only available
for Moodle 4.1 and up (see the MDL-70889 mini-epic). Namely:
- MNet (SSO, roaming, auth, enrol and Mahara portfolio) are not
using the php-xmlrpc extension anymore, but a pure php library.
- The xmlrpc webservices protocol, has been move from core to
the plugins directory, although it continues using the php-xmlrpc
extension.
Because of that here we are removing all the checks and notifications
related with MNet (not using the extension anymore), but keeping the
webservice plugin ones (still using the extension). Surely if some day the
protocol stops using the extension, we'll be able to remove the
corresponding checks too. But that's future.
Note the associated lang strings have been also removed (not deprecated)
because they were highly specific and hardly reusable:
- xmlrpcmaharaenabled
- xmlrpcmnetauthenticationenabled
- xmlrpcmnetenabled
And very same applies, because MNet doesn't contain anything deprecated
or not supported anymore, hence, straight deletion, to the function:
- mnet_get_deprecation_notice()
Also, related tests using any of the removed stuff above have been deleted.
In the other side, the "check_xmlrpc_usage" continues existing and
being used both by environment checks and admin notifications but,
as commented above, now it only looks for the xmlrpc webservice
protocol now.
For Moodle 4.1 and up, the php-xmlrpc is not needed anymore:
- All the MNet stuff has been moved to use php library (MDL-76055).
- The webservice/xmlrpc has been moved from core to contrib (MDL-76052).
So we just remove the check here. Starting with 4.1, it's not
needed for any core functionality.
Note that the string has been removed, and not deprecated, because it's
a non-generic string, not belonging to core/moodle main lang file, and
hardly reused ever. That fits with the allowed deletions, not requiring
any deprecation.
Of course, the lang removal only has been applied to master (4.1dev).
Older branches still keep it and will be used when checking < 4.1
upgradability.
