The function `create_function` has been DEPRECATED in PHP 8

[BaseMax]

Hi Pierre;

The Function create_function has been DEPRECATED in PHP8 and encoded programs will not run in a new server.
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5, PHP 7)

Warning: This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.2.0, and REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.create-function.php

$__________________ = 'Q1JFQXRlX2Z1bkNUaU9u';
$__________________ = $__($__________________);
// print $__________________."\n";
// $__________________ = "create_function";

What I find is obscured code want to use CREAte_funCTiOn function somethings is probably create_function. But this is not available in server.

I'm not sure it's solved before or a trick and solution to solve this. Anyway I submit this since I see encoded programs cannot run anymore.

Try this:

if (!function_exists("create_function)) { function __create_function($arg, $body) { static $cache = array(); static $maxCacheSize = 64;

static $sorter;

if ($sorter === NULL) {
    $sorter = function($a, $b) {
        if ($a->hits == $b->hits) {
            return 0;
        }

        return ($a->hits < $b->hits) ? 1 : -1;
    };
}

$crc = crc32($arg . "\\x00" . $body);

if (isset($cache[$crc])) {
    ++$cache[$crc][1];
    return $cache[$crc][0];
}

if (sizeof($cache) >= $maxCacheSize) {
    uasort($cache, $sorter);
    array_pop($cache);
}

$cache[$crc] = array($cb = eval('return function('.$arg.'){'.$body.'};'), 0);
return $cb; } }
