  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires php >=7.1 <8.0 but your php version (8.0.7) does not satisfy that requirement.
  Problem 2
    - phpunit/phpunit is locked to version 7.5.20 and an update of this package was not requested.
    - phpunit/phpunit 7.5.20 requires php ^7.1 -> your php version (8.0.7) does not satisfy that requirement.
  Problem 3
    - phpunit/phpunit 7.5.20 requires php ^7.1 -> your php version (8.0.7) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp-test-framework v0.1.2 requires phpunit/phpunit ^6.5|^7.0|^8.0 -> satisfiable by phpunit/phpunit[7.5.20].
    - simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp-test-framework is locked to version v0.1.2 and an update of this package was not requested.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
make: *** [Makefile:114: ssphp] Error 2

changing
htdocs/external/composer.json to reflect
{
    "require": {
        "php": "^7.0||^8.0",

and in htdocs/auth/saml/extlib/simplesamlphp/composer.json

from
"require": {
        "php": ">=7.1 <8.0",

to
{
    "require": {
        "php": "^7.0||^8.0",

But still not working and displaying same error

Hi Andi,

Mahara does not yet support PHP 8. We will keep this bug open though for when we can get to reviewing changes for PHP 8.

Thank you
Kristina
