Magento_Theme title.phtml template invalid for PHP 8.2

[adamlavery]

Preconditions and environment

OS 2.4.7

Steps to reproduce

There's a code error in vendor\magento\module-theme\view\frontend\templates\html\title.phtml

Expected result

Should be written for PHP 8.2 but is not.

Actual result

Template crashes if there's no page title.

Additional information

This code:

if (trim($block->getPageHeading())) {
    $titleHtml = '<span class="base" data-ui-id="page-title-wrapper" '
        . $block->getAddBaseAttribute()
        . '>'
        . $block->escapeHtml($block->getPageHeading())
        . '</span>';
}

Needs correcting to:

if ($block->getPageHeading()) {
    $titleHtml = '<span class="base" data-ui-id="page-title-wrapper" '
        . $block->getAddBaseAttribute()
        . '>'
        . $block->escapeHtml(trim($block->getPageHeading()))
        . '</span>';
}

Release note

Fix code that fails with PHP 8.2

It would help if you could specify the error message you're seeing? But I guess it happens when $block->getPageHeading() returns null and not a string?

[adamlavery]

@hostep sorry, didn't think a log of this error was necessary. Yes, as of PHP 8.? you can no longer pass null to most/all PHP string functions. I'm sure there must be a valid reason for this change which breaks code all over the place, although I can't see it!!

Hello @adamlavery,

Thank you for the report and collaboration!

If the function $block->getPageHeading() returns null by any case which it should not, will cause the error as php string functions won't accept null as parameter. Hence confirming this.
