 * The following PHP warning is spamming the logs on our WP-Engine site:
   PHP Warning:
   parse_ini_file(/etc/php/8.2-zend/fpm/php.ini): Failed to open stream: Permission
   denied in /nas/content/live/oursite/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-square/vendor/
   apimatic/jsonmapper/src/JsonMapper.php on line 134The site has been upgraded 
   to PHP 8.4 a while ago, all caches have been cleard but woocommerce-square seems
   to sit with the (disabled) php8.2

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for sharing the details and for bringing this to our attention.
 * The warning you’re seeing occurs because the plugin is attempting to read a system-
   level PHP configuration file, which is restricted on some hosting environments.
   This is a **PHP warning**, not a fatal error, and does not indicate a problem
   with your active PHP version or affect WooCommerce Square functionality.
 * I’ve tried to replicate this issue on my end using PHP 8.4, but I was **not able
   to see any warning messages**.
 * Could you please let me know if you notice the warning **after any specific action**,
   such as viewing the Orders page, syncing products/orders, or updating plugin 
   settings? This will help us better identify what might be triggering it.

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved.
