Trying to signup getting following error:Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #2 must be of type array, null given in R:\Xamp801\htdocs\vstore\signup.php:585 Stack trace: #0 R:\Xamp801\htdocs\vstore\signup.php(585): array_merge(Array, NULL) #1 {main} thrown in R:\Xamp801\htdocs\vstore\signup.php on line 585

However !! Data (user signup) is correctly stored in Members area
Latest Git version, new install of e107

@tgtje This commit should fix it. Please re-open if necessary.

Helas it (for me) does not solve it. Ican not re-open it seems.
Overall the error changes to the previous line 584 now instead of 585
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #2 must be of type array, null given in R:\Xamp801\htdocs\e107\signup.php:584 Stack trace: #0 R:\Xamp801\htdocs\e107\signup.php(584): array_merge(Array, NULL) #1 {main} thrown in R:\Xamp801\htdocs\e107\signup.php on line 584.

Deeper investigation leads to setting in user registration coupled to NO Verification. When this is set, the error occurs.
Using Email verif. or Admin approval > NO errors and all functions.
Tested and ONLY happens on the php 8 install (local) Live 7.4.10 has no issues with it. Maybe this helps?

Issue no longer exists on fresh installment (php 8.0.3).
So i think this can be closed as a e107 bug as signup functions now normally .

(a related issue for this is in plugin (vstore) but is posted there).

(Please do not get confused by domain name vstore posted in issue report as this was a different installment-name and version )
