What happened?

An ErrorException is thrown when accessing the controller. The message is:
strtolower(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated

Steps to Reproduce

Start the built-in server using $ php8.1 spark serve
Open up any route in the browser

Expected Output

The HTML that the controller outputs is expected

Anything else?

The error appears to be thrown because in SYSTEMPATH/Validation/FormatRules.php at line 253 the strtolower() function is passed a variable $which which can be null, and passing null to strtolower() is deprecated in php8.1
