Compatibility with PHP 8.4.1 -> CodeIgniter 4.6.1 upgrade

[msdevweb]

Current version is not compatible with PHP 8.4.x. It requires CodeIgniter 4.6.1, so the current app CodeIgniter framworks needs to be updated.

Several issues like (but not limited to)
Response: 500 Internal Server Error

Fatal error: Declaration of CodeIgniter\I18n\TimeTrait::createFromTimestamp(int $timestamp, $timezone = null, ?string $locale = null) must be compatible with DateTimeImmutable::createFromTimestamp(int|float $timestamp): CodeIgniter\Autoloader\Autoloader in /www/jobe/system/I18n/TimeTrait.php on line 266

Temporary fix/patch, replace function signature in system/I18n/TimeTrait.php:

public static function createFromTimestamp(int $timestamp, $timezone = null, ?string $locale = null)
with:
public static function createFromTimestamp(int|float $timestamp, $timezone = null, ?string $locale = null)

Thanks for the heads up. I've updated the development branch with the latest version of CodeIgniter. It passes all the tests on a system running PHP 8.4, but hasn't been tested in the wild yet. I'd be grateful if you could take it for a test drive yourself. I'll merge with master only after it has had some serious production use.
