== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
Using a function in PHP with the same name as the nesting class was historically used to declare a class constructor.
|
|
However, as of PHP 8.0.0, this declaration is discouraged and will provoke an `E_DEPRECATED` error, albeit it functions as a constructor.
|
|
|
|
Instead, users should explicitly define the constructor by declaring a ``++__construct(...)++`` function.
|
|
However, if both styles are present in the same class, PHP will treat the ``++__construct++`` function as the class constructor, which can cause unintended behavior.
|
|
|
|
Adhering to this convention improves readability and maintainability by ensuring that the constructor declaration is named uniformly throughout the codebase.

=== Noncompliant code example
|
|
|
|
[source,php,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
|
|
----
|
|
class Foo {
|
|
function Foo() {...}
|
|
}
|
|

|
=== Compliant solution
|
|
|
|
[source,php,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
|
|
----
|
|
class Foo {
|
|
function __construct() {...}
|
|
}
