What happened?
The random_string text helper (docs) is incorrectly marked as deprecated. Because of this, PHP Intelephense in VS Code shows the use of random_string as deprecated. Even though none of the deprecated types are used.
Only the type 'basic', 'md5', and 'sha1' are deprecated because they are not cryptographically secure. The random_string function itself is not deprecated.
Code:
CodeIgniter4/system/Helpers/text_helper.php
Line 551 in e56ba93
The @deprecated tag is used to indicate which Structural Elements are deprecated and are to be removed in a future version.
