Re: Maia on centos 8

Simple test -

OK, I'm going back to basics here with a simple test, comparing Centos 7 &
php-5.4.16 with Centos 8 & php-7.2.11

They both have the same pear MDB2 modules installed. A simple DB connection
test was run on both:

<?php
require_once 'MDB2.php';

$dsn = 'mysqli://test:test@dbserv/test';
$options = array(
    'debug' => 2,
    'result_buffering' => false,
);

$mdb2 =& MDB2:: connect($dsn, $options);
if (PEAR::isError($mdb2)) {
    die($mdb2->getMessage());
} else {
    echo "Success!\n";
}

$mdb2->disconnect();
?>

On Centos 7, it simply returns "Success!"
But on Centos 8 it returns this:

PHP Warning:  count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that
implements Countable in /usr/share/pear/MDB2.php on line 826

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements
Countable in /usr/share/pear/MDB2.php on line 826
PHP Notice:  Only variables should be assigned by reference in
/root/dbtest.php on line 10

Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /root/dbtest.php
on line 10
Success!
