Deprecated: dirname(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($path) of type string is deprecated

[jamieburchell]

Using phpthumb v1.7.17 with PHP 8.1 I'm seeing the following deprecation notices, which look to be all related to a NULL being passed around somewhere:

Code I'm running:

$image = new phpthumb;
$image->setParameter('config_allow_src_above_docroot', true);
$image->resetObject();
$image->setSourceFilename('/path/to/my/image.jpg');
$image->setParameter('w', 100);
$image->setParameter('h', 100);
$image->setParameter('q', 100);
$image->GenerateThumbnail();
$image->RenderToFile('/path/to/output.jpg');

Deprecations:

If you're able to track down the problem and submit a patch that would be appreciated. I won't have access to a PHP8 environment for a while.

@JamesHeinrich You need to make sure you're not passing NULL to dirname. I'm not sure why it is. dirname accepts a string only and in PHP 8.1 you'll get the deprecation notice.

It's going to be a wider issue anywhere you perform string or number functions on NULL (strtolower, preg_replace, round etc.). It looks like at least some of these NULLs are coming from the class property defaults.

Good afternoon! On version php 8.1 there is also an error related to the deprecation of the function:
Deprecated: strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in ...phpthumb.class.php on line 3516

And this at php8.1
Deprecated: substr(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated on phpthumb.class.php on line 1060
Deprecated: is_dir(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($filename) of type string is deprecated on phpthumb.class.php on line 1079

You can use the file I attached to the topic below.
It's working flawlessly for now.
