Bug: ErrorException: Passing null to strtolower() is deprecated in php8.1 #5436

Description

@RussellJapheth

PHP Version

8.1

CodeIgniter4 Version

4.1.5

CodeIgniter4 Installation Method

Composer (using codeigniter4/appstarter)

Which operating systems have you tested for this bug?

Linux

Which server did you use?

cli-server (PHP built-in webserver)

Database

No response

What happened?

An ErrorException is thrown when accessing the controller. The message is:
strtolower(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated

Steps to Reproduce

Start the built-in server using $ php8.1 spark serve
Open up any route in the browser

Expected Output

The HTML that the controller outputs is expected

Anything else?

The error appears to be thrown because in SYSTEMPATH/Validation/FormatRules.php at line 253 the strtolower() function is passed a variable $which which can be null, and passing null to strtolower() is deprecated in php8.1

                          Bug: ErrorException: Passing null to strtolower() is deprecated in php8.1 #5436

                          Description

                          @RussellJapheth

                          PHP Version

                          8.1

                          CodeIgniter4 Version

                          4.1.5

                          CodeIgniter4 Installation Method

                          Composer (using codeigniter4/appstarter)

                          Which operating systems have you tested for this bug?

                          Linux

                          Which server did you use?

                          cli-server (PHP built-in webserver)

                          Database

                          No response

                          What happened?

                          An ErrorException is thrown when accessing the controller. The message is:
                          strtolower(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated

                          Steps to Reproduce

                          Start the built-in server using $ php8.1 spark serve
                          Open up any route in the browser

                          Expected Output

                          The HTML that the controller outputs is expected

                          Anything else?

                          The error appears to be thrown because in SYSTEMPATH/Validation/FormatRules.php at line 253 the strtolower() function is passed a variable $which which can be null, and passing null to strtolower() is deprecated in php8.1
