The following error is in my /var/log/apache2/error.log file. I can not access the index.php file or any other phpmyadmin file, in replace of phpmyadmins interface my server returns an http 500 error. All other files work fine, its only phpmyadmin's which has this issue.
Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /usr/share/$
$share/phpmyadmin/libraries/Util.php on line 2087I have tried reinstalling phpmyadmin and php but the issue persists.
PHP version: 8.0.12
phpmyadmin version: 4.6.6-5

The error tells you what the issue is:
Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /usr/share/$ $share/phpmyadmin/libraries/Util.php on line 2087
There are {} curly braces that are no longer supported in PHP.
here's a source to check out regarding this:
sudo vi /share/phpmyadmin/libraries/Util.php
go to line 2087
then edit the {} curly braces and replace them with []
then type :wq
You can use any file editor you wish to, I personally use vim.
Since the above caused more issues do the following:
Run sudo apt remove --purge phpmyadminThen sudo apt autoremove
Then download the zip file from
The default location for the zip file should be Downloads unless you changed it
Next unzip the file, You can do this through the GUI into the default location which is /
Don't worry about changing it just unzip or extract right from there.
