I'm afraid this change should also be applied to a bunch of similar functions in that file?

Thanks for this patch
Since this is a low-level function probably it would be nice an if($str === null) { return ''; } short circuit instead
If you do not have an exception for other functions, I would say to skip this at the moment

Thanks just to clarify: does it still fix your problem?
(I think yes but there is honestly a possibility that an object is passed, then casted internally to string by mb_convert_case(), but returning a null. I really do not want to test this corner-case. I just want to say that if this still crashes, it's probably because of that.)

Premising that it would be nice to discover who is calling phutil_utf8_strtolower(null) ignoring the PHPDoc, and premising that if some people has more time to further improve the situation any follow-up patch is welcome,
I tested this locally without any nuclear implosion,
And, this is the very minimal change to short-circuit out this problem introduced by PHP 8.1 deprecation
So, thanks for this!
