 Upgrading to PHP 8.1 surfaces this

 {{{
 Deprecated: mysqli_real_connect(): Passing null to parameter #5
 ($database) of type ?string is deprecated in /code/wp-includes/class-
 wpdb.php on line 1987 Deprecated: mysqli_real_connect(): Passing null to
 parameter #7 ($socket) of type ?string is deprecated in /code/wp-includes
 /class-wpdb.php on line 1987
 }}}


 From what I can see, Parameter # 5 and # 7 are both explicitly set as null
 directly in the core file - see attached:
