Perch Runway 2.8.34 with XAMPP – Warnings in Admin Control Panel, re: PerchField...

I am running XAMPP on my PC as a test area for changes to a live site. I have copied the files and database from the server to the local PC.

When selecting a region to edit within the Admin Control Panel, each field within each item is preceded by the message 'Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in C:\xampp\htdocs\admin\core\lib\PerchFieldTypes.class.php on line 69'.

Here is the diagnostics summary:

    Perch Runway: 2.8.34, PHP: 7.2.6, MySQL: mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev - 20150407 - $Id: 38fea24f2847fa7519001be390c98ae0acafe387 $, with PDO

It says also that the temp folder is not writable. runway.php defines temp_folder as /tmp so I created a folder called 'tmp' in htdocs, but it throws up this error message.

That warning is listed as one of the backward incompatible changes in PHP 7.2. The version of Perch you're running there predates that version of PHP by about a year, so doesn't account for the incompatibility.
