Okay this is what I found out.

The Yilmaz new shoutbox.php will allow shoutbox to work with PhP 8.

Without this new file, you will get the
unexpected_error,Unsupported operand types: string - int

error when you try to run shoutbox on PhP8. So the new Yilmaz file SOLVES that error - that error will go away and Shoutbox will run okay now on vb 5.6.5 running PhP 8.

HOWEVER, there is a new issue that has to do with vb 5.6.6 When you run 5.6.6 , the shoutbox username disappears from the left side of the shoutbox,

and there is no way to tell who is making the shout.
