fix: resolve warnings in php 8

[heyjones]

Resolves the following warnings when upgrading to PHP 8:

• compact(): Undefined variable $server in db.php on line 722
• Undefined variable $server in db.php on line 726

I’m assuming there’s a better default for this than null but I’m not that familiar with the rest of the code.

@rinatkhaziev could you please take a look as well?

@heyjones could you please provide steps to reproduce the issue? I'm not able to trigger the behavior you describe on a regular request.

[heyjones]

@rinatkhaziev here are the constants in my wp-config.php:

define( 'DB_NAME', 'local' );
define( 'DB_USER', 'root' );
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'root' );
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );

define( 'RO_NAME', 'local' );
define( 'RO_USER', 'root' );
define( 'RO_PASSWORD', 'root' );
define( 'RO_HOST', 'localhost' );

define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'development' );

They match locally since I only have one db, but in prod they vary. I see this error in wp-admin:

Warning: compact(): Undefined variable $server in /Users/jones/Sites/collectivist.local/app/public/wp-content/db.php on line 722

When applying the code in this PR, the warning is removed. I'm open to suggestions for a better solution, or since I don't have WP_DEBUG set in prod I assume I won't even see these PHP warnings but figured I'd submit this anyways. Thanks!

When I tail my logs locally, I do see several instances of this error:
