Description

Hello all,

The following pull request was merged yesterday: Prevent infinite loop on array_first, array_last, str_contains.

This fix uses the function array_find_key, which was introduced in PHP 8.4. This results in an Call to undefined function array_find_key error on our systems which are still running on 8.3.

Steps To Reproduce

Run the following code in PHP 8.3

 array_first([
   'en' => 'English',
   'nl' => 'Dutch',
   'it' => 'Italian',
   'fr' => 'French'
   ], fn($language, $languageCode) => $languageCode === 'nl');

Sent PR laravel/helpers#38 to address this issue

@erikverbeek despite the fix sent to the laravel/helpers package, please consider migrating the usage of the helpers provided by that package to the ones provided by illuminate/support.

laravel/helpers is already basically a wrapper around illuminate/support. So your project already requires the illuminate/support under the hood.

In the code snippet you sent, you could use the Illuminate\Support\Arr::first helper:

Arr::first([
    'en' => 'English',
    'nl' => 'Dutch',
    'it' => 'Italian',
    'fr' => 'French'
    ], fn($language, $languageCode) => $languageCode === 'nl');
