Due to missing whitespace at the end of strings during joining, we ended up with the query fragment "DelTS IS NULLAND NOT PinnedTS" which should be "DelTS IS NULL AND NOT PinnedTS" So the check for pinned comments > 5 likely always failed. In php 7, a completely broken query that raises exceptions in the database engine was silently ignored... in php 8, it raises Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 near "PinnedTS": syntax error in <file> and aborts the page building. End result: users with permission to pin comments cannot see any comments, or indeed page content below the first comment header Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> --- web/lib/pkgbasefuncs.inc.php | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/web/lib/pkgbasefuncs.inc.php b/web/lib/pkgbasefuncs.inc.php index a4925891..4c8abba7 100644 --- a/web/lib/pkgbasefuncs.inc.php +++ b/web/lib/pkgbasefuncs.inc.php @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ function pkgbase_comments_count($base_id, $include_deleted, $only_pinned=false) $q = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PackageComments "; $q.= "WHERE PackageBaseID = " . $base_id .
