My colleague and I keep hitting fatal errors whenever we launch our PHP application under PHP 8 in XAMPP on Windows. We have already tried different configs, patches, and environment tweaks with no luck, so the next step is to see whether the problem is reproducible elsewhere. You’ll receive the full project archive. After enabling the cURL extension (the only extra dependency), set it up in your own XAMPP stack and attempt a normal launch under PHP 8. Deliverables I need from this first round: • A short screen-capture or log demonstrating whether the app boots cleanly or reproduces the fatal errors. • If it fails, a brief note pinpointing the line, file, or setting that triggers the crash. • If it succeeds, confirmation of your PHP 8 build, XAMPP version, and any tweaks you applied. Should your environment run the project without issues—or you quickly spot the culprit—I’m ready to discuss deeper debugging and a longer-term collaboration on future features.
