Why did phpMyAdmin stop working after upgrading Ubuntu to 22.04?

Question

Just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and now my phpadmin won't load. I get this following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'static' (T_STATIC) in /usr/share/php/Symfony/Component/DependencyInjection/ContainerBuilder.php on line 272

I opened up the file, and here is the specific code in that segment.

public function addResource(ResourceInterface $resource): static
{
    if (!$this->trackResources) {
        return $this;
    }

   if ($resource instanceof GlobResource && $this->inVendors($resource->getPrefix())) {
       return $this;
    }

    $this->resources[(string) $resource] = $resource;

   return $this;
}

Yesterday before the upgrade, everything was working fine. Does anybody have any suggestions?

What `phpmyadmin` and `PHP` itself versions do you have? – Apr 29 '22 at 16:47 — , Apr 29 '22 at 16:47

Since version 8.0, PHP allows static as a return type for class methods. Apparently your PHP version was downgraded.

You have to use at least PHP 8.0, or downgrade phpMyAdmin – Grzegorz Pietrzak Apr 29 '22 at 17:21
@GrzegorzPietrzak but he has `Symfony` error, not `phpMyAdmin` one, phpMyAdmin does not require `PHP` 8.0 yet, `7.4` for latest version, I believe – Apr 29 '22 at 17:49

Since version 5.0 PMA uses Symfony components, including DI Container. Looking at the Packagist - it should work with PHP 7.1.3+, but apparently something is not right. – Grzegorz Pietrzak Apr 29 '22 at 17:57

Yes, it's a pain if you are running a PHP version prior to 8, such as 7.*. Download 5.2 here and install it.

https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/

Completely purge your previous version and secure the directory where you install it (depends on your web server). That Symfony component ruined everything (line 272).

upgrade php to 8.x
switch php version in apache:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
sudo rm php7.4.conf
sudo rm php7.4.load
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/php8.0.load php8.0.load
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/php8.0.conf php8.0.conf

at the end, restart apache:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Probably not necessary but just want to add that if you're on PHP 8.1 you need to change above commands to 8.1 – sluiper Sep 27 '22 at 07:43

You have to check your phpmyadmin version Coz in php 8.* version phpmyadmin 5.* version will be required.

If you are using opcache preloading, you might be suffering from conflicts between phpMyAdmin's Symfony namespaces and those of your own app. My workaround for this is to run phpMyAdmin on a different version of PHP
