PHP Deprecated: As of 4.5.0, using newQuery() is deprecated

Might also be related to
#2242
Which is now in v0.15 version release.

You can backport this to v0.14 one if needed.
v0.13 might be EOL now.

To address cakephp/migrations#651 and this issue, we'd need to backport #2242 to v0.13. There is also the changes to getQueryBuilder from 37307f8 that might be useful (though make it optional to pass argument and if no argument, default to current behavior of using newQuery vs throwing exception).

Granted, given that newQuery in favor of using the specific methods was deprecated in cakephp and the type problems with getQueryBuilder that motivated #2242, I wonder if we shouldn't also deprecate getQueryBuilder to be removed in 0.16 as well. Thoughts on that @dereuromark?

[MasterOdin]

Biggest reason would be to help cakephp/migrations@v3 users, but if you don't think you'd want those methods in phinx proper for that (or fine with just having those users be stuck with the deprecation warnings), then yeah, less of a reason to backport that far unless @malle-pietje provides a compelling reason on why they might be stuck on 0.13.

[malle-pietje]

I checked and the reason we had to pin to version 0.13 has been fixed so we should be able to move to 0.14. That means a backport would be welcome for us and any other projects that need to support PHP 7.4.

I know, PHP 7.4 is EOL but you don't want to know how many servers are still running it... Forcing them to upgrade is going to put extra load on our team 😉

Why not backport to 0.14 only? Shouldn't be any need to still use 0.13 afaik
See wiki

[malle-pietje]

Thanks for all the feedback!

I'm stuck with 0.13 because a large number of deployments of our application are still on PHP 7.4, we could move to 0.14.

[dereuromark]

0.14 backport is fine, even supporting 7.4 here totally OK, no worries. Thats still the min version for the Cake4 series.
A backport PR would be welcome here.

[malle-pietje]

I'll see whether I can find the time to look into the backport in the short term. If someone who's more familiar with the package is willing to look into this, that's obviously more than welcome! 🤞

Same for me. At the moment we have to support PHP 7.4 because it is part of Ubuntu 20.04 which is still in support until Apr 2025. Even if PHP 7.4 itself is EOL.
