What is the expected behavior?

Work like it did prior to PHP 8.0

What is the current behavior?

Throws errors and warnings but seems to still be functional

What are the steps to reproduce?

Please provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example of code that exhibits the issue without relying on an external Excel file or a web server:

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Create new Spreadsheet object
$spreadsheet = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet();

// add code that show the issue here...
/** Assign uploaded file to a variable */
$inputFileName = $_FILES['import']['tmp_name'];

/**  Identify the type of $inputFileName  **/
$inputFileType = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::identify($inputFileName); /** throws error **/
/**  Create a new Reader of the type that has been identified  **/
$reader = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType); /** throws error **/



### Which versions of PhpSpreadsheet and PHP are affected?
^1.8 and 8.0

This was fixed in October 2020 by PR #1625, which was included in release 1.15.0.

[TheRealMajaba]

The fix doesn't seem to be included in the 1.8.2 that you get with a normal composer update

[oleibman]

1.8.2 is a very old release - it dates back to July 2019. 1.15.0, which fixed the problem, was over a year later. Is there something that prevents you from moving to the current released version (1.17.1) or master?

[TheRealMajaba]

Must be some sort of problem with composer then, since composer update always updates me to 1.8.2. Thank you for the help
