I've made updates for php8, so it should be all working now. I use php8 locally and haven't run into any issues lately.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Found a couple of errors extension gd2 for PHP has been renamed to just gd in PHP 8 which seems to be affecting CAPTCHA images, also creating alternative connections to the database causes a "There's an error in your SQL code" error

The renaming of GD shouldn't effect the captcha functionality. Perhaps you don't have GD installed in your php8 version? I think it is disabled by default and has to be enabled in the php.ini file.

The connection error is most likely not related to your php version either. Did you install the latest version of the extension? I did make some php8 fixes a couple of weeks back.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...
