What potential issues can arise when upgrading to PHP 8, especially in handling form data?

One potential issue when upgrading to PHP 8 is the deprecation of the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA variable, which was commonly used to handle form data. To solve this issue, you can use the php://input stream to access raw POST data instead. 

// Get raw POST data using php://input
$raw_post_data = file_get_contents('php://input');

// Parse raw POST data into an array
parse_str($raw_post_data, $form_data);

// Access form data values
$value = $form_data['key'];
