 * working on a develop website I had this error while I was activating two plugins:
    - Chained quiz
    - Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       ErrorException (E_COMPILE_ERROR)Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported
       ```
   
 * Gantry 5.5.23
   WordPress 6.8.2PHP 8.1
 * Do you think it’s a bug of gantry or of the plugin?
 * I am using ASE on other installation and never gave this error.

 * Maybe it was not a Gantry bug, anyway I fixed it this way
 * In **wp-admin/install.php**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       while( $l >= 0 && $sql{$l} == '\\' ) {
       ```
   
 * had to change this way
 *     ```wp-block-code
       while( $l >= 0 && $sql[$l] == '\\' ) {
       ```
