php8 Error in Backend -> Option

[st-anton]

Hi, when stepping over to php8, the backend options page cannot be opened because of a error: count(): Argument #1 ($var) must be of type Countable|array, null given
Frontend does work and adding new attachments does work as well.

You can correct that easily.
File: /administrator/components/com_attachments/controllers/params.php
Line:
if (count($errors = $this->get('Errors'))) {
replace that line with:
$errors = $this->get('Errors');
if (!IS_NULL($errors) and count($errors)) {

@peterhulst, don't you mean !IS_NULL($errors), not !IS_NULL($count)?

        $errors = $this->get('Errors');
        if (!is_null($errors) and count($errors)) 
        {
            JError::raiseError(500, implode("\n", $errors) . ' (ERR 118)');
            return false;
        }

You are right. I have corrected it.
