php_uname() only works with a single character string

[jimwins]

deepl-php/src/Translator.php

Line 761 in fdf86cc

$platformStr = php_uname('s r v m');

This has never worked as apparently hoped, it has always just used the first character from the string, and in PHP 8.4 will throw a ValueError when more than one character is specified like this.

Originally reported as a bug against PHP at php/php-src#16641 by @that-guy-iain.

A breaking change in php-src still needs to be fixed. The documentation suggests that the string should work and there are unknown companies that may be using that string. And their code will be affected by a breaking change which was never mentioned anywhere in RFCS and would need the documentation to be quietly changed to pretend that this didn't happen. Breaking changes are bad and quietly changing documentation is even worse.

You can bypass it for now by not sending platform information:

$translator = new \DeepL\Translator('YOUR_AUTH_KEY', ['send_platform_info' => false]);
