Undefined constant "intval" when upgrading from YOURLS 1.8 (or prior) to 1.9 #3331
Description
If you get :
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "intval" in <mydirectory>/admin/upgrade.php:32
Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in <mydirectory>/admin/upgrade.php on line 32
Edit admin/upgrade.php on that line 32 and change
$oldsql = (intval)($_GET['oldsql']);to
$oldsql = intval($_GET['oldsql']);(remove parenthesis around intval)
This won't affect people who regularly update YOURLS, only people who are several releases late. If you encounter this issue please add a 👍 to this issue (upper right here, click on the little face next to the three dots) so I can evaluate if this worth a YOURLS release just for this or not. Thanks!

I cannot figure out this one: Undefined constant "intval"
I tried updating. Followed directions and replaced files in the root, then even dug down and made sure updates were made. I updated PHP to 8.0 (it was too low). I then was prompted to update (Upgrade YOURLS Your current installation needs to be upgraded.), but Yourls is already showing 1.9. When I hit the "Update" button (which shouldn't be necessary since I manually updated, I get:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "intval" in /admin/upgrade.php:32 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /admin/upgrade.php on line 32
