Help about Deprecated Methods of Php?

Thu, 20 Apr 2017 12:16:15 +0000

I need some help about PHP deprecated methods. To be more specific i am using a Q2A plugin on my website called "Ajax Page Loader". Everything works fine except an annoying message/warning at the top of the page which is:

"Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; qa_layer_1_from_qa_ajax_layer_php has a deprecated constructor in xxxxxxxx\qa-include\qa-base.php(595) : eval()'d code on line 2
of xxxxxxxx/qa-plugin/ajax-page-loader/qa-ajax-layer.php "

I checked the plugin's file qa-ajax-layer.php and in there exist indeed the same class and function which is "qa_html_theme_layer".

class qa_html_theme_layer extends qa_html_theme_base
{
   var $plugin_directory;
   var $plugin_url;
   function qa_html_theme_layer($template, $content, $rooturl, $request)
   {
       global $qa_layers;
       $this->plugin_directory = $qa_layers['APL - Ajax Layer']['directory'];
       $this->plugin_url = $qa_layers['APL - Ajax Layer']['urltoroot'];
       qa_html_theme_base::qa_html_theme_base($template, $content, $rooturl, $request);
   }

A tried to change this line from:

qa_html_theme_layer($template, $content, $rooturl, $request)

qa_my_function($template, $content, $rooturl, $request)

But the plugin doesnt work. What i have to do so the plugin work and at the same time get rid of the error/warning message about PHP deprecated Methods ? I really dont want to downgrade my PHP back to 5.4!!

@sama55 @scott i need your advices. Thanks

[Markdown Editor] Deprecated: Methods

Sat, 04 Jun 2016 14:24:26 +0000

Hello,

For the website named OBSD4a.net, we use-it Q&A and Markdown Editor. (french community)

We have this error PHP:

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Markdown_Parser has a deprecated constructor

As wrote in PHP documentation: it's an oldier PHP 4 style constructor. It need to change ... perhaps by using __construt() method ;)
