We keep 100% backward compatibility, reproducing the implicit cast happening automatically before PHP 8.1

It has also been simplified the non-empty check since that is possible after casting to string.

Closes T15404

Test Plan
  • Visit the page mentioned in the commit summary
  • no longer explodes
  • you still don't see empty Captions
  • you still see populated Captions
  • you still see HTML rendered for populated Captions

Reason for that comment:

If phutil_tag receives a string, it escapes that. But we don't want to see <tt>Stuff</tt> at video.

↑ This explodes in cases of a caption consisting in PhutilSafeHTML

I discovered that during heavy testing of other random pages outside the reasonable test plan

avivey added inline comments.
src/view/form/control/AphrontFormControl.php
218–224

this whole section might be clearer like this:

$caption = $this->getCaption();
$has_caption = $caption || (phutil_string_cast($caption) !== '');

or some other variation on $has_caption rather then content that isn't used as content.

following suggestions from my friend avivey

src/view/form/control/AphrontFormControl.php
218–224

OK I get your point

Premising that probably the suggested code will not work for objects since an object short-circuit as truly even if it returns an empty string. So it would be necessary a cast call in any case. Premising that doing a cast seems very good to me since that was what PHP was doing under the hood with strlen stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion, I like this really much more

Just as a proof of concept, now it works:
