PHP 8.1.9 Fatal error on saving changes in Discussion/Media settings

[katladyj]

I am testing HyperDB with a fresh install of WordPress 6.0.2 on Apache+php 8.1.9. Clicking "Save Changes" on the Discussion/Media Settings pages in the dashboard returns the critical error notice page. This occurs even if no options were selected to be changed. The other settings pages don't return this error.

Log for Discussion Settings:

I believe this was fixed via #41 + #42, but the version of HyperDB you likely installed from the plugin directory didn't have those fixes yet.
