pfSense 2.7.0: php errors & crash report after install

[maxlluky]

Describe the bug
Hello, I have the following crash reports with the new pfSense version 2.7.0 after installing the API. I have tested with two pfSense instances. Unfortunately both times the same error. The API can be used "normally" after the installation. However, after creating a new API token, a PHP error message also appears in the webui.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the API via the Webui -> Command Prompt
2. Reload the Webui
3. See the Crash Report

Expected behavior
A normal install of the API without any crash report or php error-messages

pfSense Version & Package Version:

• pfSense Version: [pfSense 2.7.0]
• Package Version [latest (19.07.2023)]

Hey!

Thanks for reporting this. This looks like a regression in the API sync feature due to the changes in PHP 8 introduced in pfSense 2.7. I'll work on a patch and see what I can do to improve tests for the sync feature in the future.

Thanks!
