<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>When running the node_link_report module on PHP 8.2+, the following deprecation is logged:<br>
Deprecated function: Creation of dynamic property<br>
Drupal\node_link_report\Service\LinkChecker::$additionalDomainsAsInternal is deprecated in<br>
Drupal\node_link_report\Service\LinkChecker->getDomains()<br>
on this line:<br>
$this->$type = explode(',', $domain_list);<br>
This happens inside LinkChecker::getDomains() when it is called from LinkChecker::isExternal().</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>Inside getDomains():<br>
$this->$type = explode(',', $domain_list);<br>
With $type = 'additionalDomainsAsInternal', this becomes:<br>
$this->additionalDomainsAsInternal = [...];<br>
There is no declared property named $additionalDomainsAsInternal on LinkChecker, so PHP creates it dynamically. Dynamic properties are deprecated in PHP 8.2, which is exactly why the deprecation is triggered.<br>
In other words: the class already has a typed property $additional_domains_as_internal, but the code is silently populating a different, undeclared property with a different name.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Update the call to getDomains() in isExternal() to use the correct snake_case key, so it aligns with both the declared property and the configuration key:</p>
