Until now, PHP 7.x did not consider these `Uncaught TypeError`s to be Fatal and cause a crash of this API login code. Now in PHP this does cause a Fatal and a crash and block API login. A better fix may be to make static class calls work properly, without running them as instance method calls. This fixes several bug reports for failed SOAP API login on PHP 8.x ! ## Motivation and Context Allow API login on PHP 8.x to work without crashing with a Fatal uncaught `TypeError` exception. ## How To Test This Try to login thru the SOAP API before (fail to login) and after this change (login works and thus API works). ## Types of changes - [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change) ### Final checklist - [x] My code follows the code style of this project found [here](https://docs.suitecrm.com/community/contributing-code/coding-standards/). - [x] My change requires a change to the documentation. - [x] I have read the [**How to Contribute**](https://docs.suitecrm.com/community/contributing-code/) guidelines.
