Cannot login - Cannot use a scalar value as an array

Since I was here, I did an Ubuntu update that failed. I did a fresh install of ubuntu 20 and I a a m getting the same results.

I am a retired coder. This appears to be an invalid reference.

Cheers!!

I was not clear in my last post. I have now tried this on 2 machines. I took the time to deploy the app on two systems with the same results.

Basically, the logon fails. I suspect you are not getting a result array (or whatever) and your code does not expect this and therefore does not handle the failed login.

Here is a clue.

MySQL 8.0.4 has changed a default authentication method to caching_sha2_password which is not supported by PHP (at the time of writing). For MySQL 8 it should be changed to mysql_native_password method.

I cannot change this setting - MySQL Workbench does not allow it. I will see if I can find another way around this tomorrow.

Tired and should have gone to bed a while ago. Soon, the sun will be coming up.

Cheers!!
