Summary0000750: Install Failure on PHP 7.0
DescriptionHi,

I encountered an issue while manually installing XMB version 1.9.12.08 on CentOS 7 with the following configuration: Apache 2.4, PHP 7.0, and MySQL 5.0.

At step 6 of the installation process, I received the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in [[installation-path]]/xmb191208/include/sql.inc.php on line 1540

This error is caused by the use of nullable type declarations (?Type) in function arguments, which were introduced in PHP 7.1. Since PHP 7.0 does not support this feature, the installation fails.

However, the installation documentation for version 1.9.12.08 states that it supports PHP 7.0 (https://docs.xmbforum2.com/index.php?title=Requirements#PHP). Given this, it seems that the documentation might need to be updated to reflect the actual PHP version requirements.

Could you please review this issue and make the necessary changes to either the code or the documentation to ensure compatibility with PHP 7.0?
Steps To Reproduce1. Download the ZIP file from here (https://www.xmbforum2.com/download/XMB-1.9.12.08.zip) and extract it to your desired folder.
2. Open the installation page in your web browser.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the installation wizard.
4. However, at Step 6 during installation, the error will occur.

Thank you for the report. I've started work on a newer version of XMB and might have overlooked that detail on the stable branch. I will follow up with a temporary solution.

Based on the screenshot provided, there was nothing written to the database yet, so it should be an easy fix.

Please download this corrected file. The download button is next to the "Raw" view button.

https://github.com/miqrogroove/xmb/blob/1.9.12/include/sql.inc.php

If you replace that one file, everything should work normally. Also, if the completed config.php file is still on the server you will be able to skip that step next time.
