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

Question

What does this error mean?

PHP Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; qa_layer_30_from_layer_php has a deprecated constructor in /tmp/fakeEvalbdkKEo on line 4

How is it repaired?

Answer 1

There's information missing in your question.. Like what plugin are you using and where does this error occur etc.

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

You'll need to go to /tmp/fakeEvalbdkKEo on line 4 and rename your function to  __construct() .

Explanation: In previous versions of PHP, if PHP cannot find a  __construct()  function for a given class, it will search for the old-style constructor function, by the name of the class, but now old style constructors are DEPRECATED in PHP 7.0, and will be removed in a future version. You should always use  __construct()  in new code. Read php manual.

That's most likely a plugin that's outdated.
Impossible to blindly figure out with this little information..
