Install white screen fix for PHP 8.1

AlexGGGG

With osTicket 1.16.1 and PHP 8.1.3 (I expect any 8.1.x) I was getting white screen after install.
This is because of a breaking change in PHP 8.1, see https://php.watch/versions/8.1/mysqli-error-mode
To fix it, I added

mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_OFF);

just below

global $__db;

around line 24 of include/mysqli.php

ah, and that was on Windows with IIS (I don't think it matters).

Please read the requirements before installing as we do not yet support PHP 8.1. Even though you made a bandaid for the error issue you will still run into other errors. It’s recommended that you downgrade to PHP 8.0.

Cheers.

For a reason, it is not possible to downgrade, so I moved to a different system and am now on PHP 8.0.

Thank you.
