[samsonasik]

see https://3v4l.org/5rcSN , return type seems also needed to be changed to static, see without return type https://3v4l.org/INmps and with full param and return type changed https://3v4l.org/JOMF1

or add #[ReturnTypeWillChange] like other method

[kenjis]

PHP 8.4 requires CodeIgniter 4.6.0 or later. See #9116
