DeprecatedConstructorStyle

error on by default quick-fix

Group: Language level migration · PhpStorm name: DeprecatedConstructorStyleInspection

A method named after its class used to act as the constructor (PHP 4 style). This form is deprecated since PHP 7.0 and no longer a constructor in PHP 8.0; the method should be called __construct.

Example

Before

<?php
class Ledger
{
    private $rows;

    public function Ledger(array $rows)
    {
        $this->rows = $rows;
    }
}

abstract class Shape
{
    abstract protected function Shape($sides);
}

class Counter
{
    public static function Counter() { return new self(); }
}

class Wallet
{
    public function __construct($amount) {}
    public function Wallet($amount) { $this->__construct($amount); }
}

class Gauge
{
    public function gauge() {}
}

trait Logger
{
    public function Logger() {}
}

interface Printer
{
    public function Printer();
}

After fix

<?php
class Ledger
{
    private $rows;

    public function __construct(array $rows)
    {
        $this->rows = $rows;
    }
}

abstract class Shape
{
    abstract protected function __construct($sides);
}

class Counter
{
    public static function Counter() { return new self(); }
}

class Wallet
{
    public function __construct($amount) {}
    public function Wallet($amount) { $this->__construct($amount); }
}

class Gauge
{
    public function __construct() {}
}

trait Logger
{
    public function Logger() {}
}

interface Printer
{
    public function Printer();
}
