Recipe updated, appears to work with PHP 8.2.

Yes, see pmwiki.org/Troubleshooting. Sometimes recipes only register 
actions to be performed later by PmWiki, or functions to be called 
later; until PmWiki tries to do what the recipe has requested, there may 
be no obvious errors.

BTW depending on the code checker, it may never process the full file 
which has this on the first line:

   if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();

If you run this single file in a PHP processor, it will simply exit.
