Errors and warnings from “PHP Compatibility” scan

  • Hi Mark,

    I’m starting to plan for PHP 7 migration and ran the “PHP Compatibility” plugin on my site. It reported a few warnings and errors:

    The errors show up also when scanning for PHP 5.5 and 5.6; the warning only shows up for PHP 7. Just wanted to make you aware. I’ll not migrate before March 2017 so no hurry!

    Hallo Anders,
    Wie geht’s dir? I am aware of the class constructor issue – the WordPress world has been warning us for some time. I am weeding them out, slowly.

    I don’t quite understand the __DIR__ warning. This ‘magic constant’ was introduced in version 5.3. I’ve encountered issues with it in earlier versions of PHP, but it’s supported since 5.3. Maybe have a typo … __dir__ vs. __DIR__. I’ll take a look.

    Thank you.
    -Mark
