I have a script with an include file that contains a function called 'get_show_list' that has a referenced array which is causing PHP to abort the script. The following used to work in 7.4:
*** Code Snippet from the Include File ***
$base_dir = "/home/tgvpadmin/data/shows";
$content_dir = "/home/tgvpadmin/content/programs";
$archive_dir = "/home/tgvpadmin/content/archives";
// Return list of sorted shows, taking definite articles into
account
function get_show_list () {
global $base_dir;
$base_dir_handle = @opendir ($base_dir);
if (!$base_dir_handle)
die ("Couldn't open directory $base_dir");
while (($filename = readdir ($base_dir_handle)) !== false) {
if (($filename != ".") and ($filename != "..") and (is_dir
("$base_dir/$filename"))
and ($showname_handle = @fopen
("$base_dir/$filename/showname", "r"))) {
$shows[$filename] = trim (fgets ($showname_handle));
fclose ($showname_handle);
} // end if a dir with a showname file
} // end traversal of directory
closedir ($base_dir_handle);
// Copy to another array for sorting purposes
$sorted_shows = $shows;
// Make all show names lowercase for sorting and searching
reset ($sorted_shows);
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($sorted_shows))
$sorted_shows[$key] = strtolower ($sorted_shows[$key]);
// Strip off "the" and "la" etc.
reset ($sorted_shows);
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($sorted_shows)) {
if (strpos ($value, " ")) {
$space_pos = strpos ($value, " ");
$first_word = substr ($value, 0, $space_pos);
switch ($first_word) {
case "the":
case "a":
case "an":
case "la":
case "el":
$sorted_shows[$key] = substr ($value, $space_pos + 1);
break;
} // end switch on first word
} // end if more than one word in a show title
} // end while list of shows
// Use asort to maintain keys
asort ($sorted_shows);
// Generate sorted list with original show names
reset ($sorted_shows);
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($sorted_shows)) {
$show_list[$key] = $shows[$key];
} // end while list of shows
return $show_list;
} // end get_show_list ()
*** End Code ***
There's a lot more I omitted for brevity and that I don't think it's involved, but here's the error I get when I run the calling script:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function
each() in
/home/tgvpadmin/domains/theglobalvoice.info/public_html/gallery.inc:35
Stack trace:

"each" is not a function. It's a list. What changed that affected the way this worked between 7.4 and 8.3? I looked through the manual sections on arrays and lists and didn't find anything that looked like it was the problem.
TIA
