Eliminate direct config access in ``interfaces.php``
Added by Jim Pingle about 1 year ago.
Updated about 1 year ago.
Plus Target Version:
23.09
Description
The code in interfaces.php needs updated for PHP 8.x and to use the new config/array access functions. There have been a couple changes made already but the rest of the file needs to be converted.
Adding this for better tracking/testing feedback, the work is already done and there will be an MR shortly.

PHP error when disabling an interface:

Tested disabling an interface on the latest builds. No PHP errors were present and the changeset above was present in the interfaces.php file. Can be closed as Resolved.

That one issue is solved but in general it needs more testing with different interface types. There was at least one report of a PHP error with a PPPoE interface that I saw on Slack but it hasn't made its way here yet with details about how to replicate it.
I've been trying to run interfaces.php through all sorts of different scenarios and so far I have yet to break it on a current snapshot. I've tried making a new PPPoE interface when no others were defined (Even after deleting the whole <ppps> tag from the config, changing types, different settings, same settings... All seems to be OK. If anyone has seen an error or knows a way to trigger a PHP error on there, let me know.
I'll still leave this open for the moment for additional feedback since there are so many possible different interface settings combinations it's unlikely I tested even a majority of possible states.

No further errors have popped up so we'll call this complete for now. Any new errors can be addressed individually as separate issues.
- Target version changed from 2.8.0 to 2.7.1
