Daily PHP warning: “unserialize(): Extra data starting”

    Hi,

    with every backup I get PHP warnings; the log shows a great number (over 70) of identical lines (I replaced the actual path by $PATHTO) like this:

    PHP Warning: unserialize(): Extra data starting at offset 2992 of 3008 bytes in /$PATHTO/html/wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/vendor/brumann/polyfill-unserialize/src/Unserialize.php on line 18

    Otherwise, the backup runs smoothly as intended. I have v. 1.25.7 of UpdraftPlus, WordPress 6.8.2 and PHP 8.3 installed.

    Do you have any hints on what to do and how to troubleshoot better?

    Hi @fxneumann

    Thanks for your report. The warning comes from PHP’s unserialize() function and is triggered more strictly under PHP 8.3. It does not affect the success of your backups, which is why they still complete as intended.

    These warnings will be taken care of in a future update of UpdraftPlus, so please make sure to keep the plugin updated. In the meantime, they can be safely ignored or you can suppress PHP warnings if you’d like to keep your logs clean.

    Kind regards,
    Bryle
