Php versions – PHP 8.4.1 : Constant E_STRICT is deprecated in pearcmd.php on line 441

I've edited the pearcmd.php file to remove the use of this keyword :

sudo vi /usr/local/Cellar/php/8.4.1_1/share/pear/pearcmd.php

Here is the function with the comments (#) so that you can see the two parts that I've edited:

function error_handler($errno, $errmsg, $file, $line)
{
#    if ($errno & E_STRICT) {
#        return; // E_STRICT
#    }
    if ($errno & E_DEPRECATED) {
        return; // E_DEPRECATED
    }
    if (!(error_reporting() & $errno) &&
        isset($GLOBALS['config']) &&
        $GLOBALS['config']->get('verbose') < 4
    ) {
        return false; // @silenced error, show all if debug is high enough
    }
    $errortype = array (
        E_DEPRECATED  => 'Deprecated Warning',
        E_ERROR   =>  "Error",
        E_WARNING   =>  "Warning",
        E_PARSE   =>  "Parsing Error",
#        E_STRICT  => 'Strict Warning',
        E_NOTICE   =>  "Notice",
        E_CORE_ERROR  =>  "Core Error",
        E_CORE_WARNING  =>  "Core Warning",
        E_COMPILE_ERROR  =>  "Compile Error",
        E_COMPILE_WARNING =>  "Compile Warning",
        E_USER_ERROR =>  "User Error",
        E_USER_WARNING =>  "User Warning",
        E_USER_NOTICE =>  "User Notice"
    );
    $prefix = $errortype[$errno];
    global $_PEAR_PHPDIR;
    if (stristr($file, $_PEAR_PHPDIR)) {
        $file = substr($file, strlen($_PEAR_PHPDIR) + 1);
    } else {
        $file = basename($file);
    }
    print "n$prefix: $errmsg in $file on line $linen";
    return false;
}

Dirty fix, but it's really unusable in the current state.
