[pkg-php-pear] Bug#830699: Deprecated constructor warnings with PHP 7

[Pehr Söderman]

Package: php-gettext
Version: 1.0.11-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When using php-gettext with php7 I get deprecated warnings such as these:

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; StringReader has a deprecated constructor in /usr/share/php/php-gettext/streams.php on line 48

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; FileReader has a deprecated constructor in /usr/share/php/php-gettext/streams.php on line 84

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; CachedFileReader has a deprecated constructor in /usr/share/php/php-gettext/streams.php on line 145

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; gettext_reader has a deprecated constructor in /usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.php on line 36

I believe these can be fixed by changing the constructors from:

class CachedFileReader extends StringReader {
  function CachedFileReader($filename) {

to

class CachedFileReader extends StringReader {
 function __construct ($filename) {

This bug has previously been reported in Ubuntu some time back:
