 * Hi Bill,
 * I did a SAST for PHP 7.3 and the report logged this error for the current plugin
   version **6.19**. Can you have a look, please?
 * Thanks,
 * Didier.

 * Hi,
    Don’t worry about this message from that tool (not our tool) This is a false
   positive from their tool. This is just a string and is only to firewall block.
   You can forget it. Cheers, Bill

 * Sure Bill. I was almost sure that it was a false alarm as with many of those 
   lint messages.
 * And I prefer to warn too much than not enough!
 * Thanks for your continuous support.

 * You are welcome!
    Don’t worry, our plugin works fine with PHP 7.3
