====== Cheatsheet for Upgrading PHP Sites ======
The change that recently rocked the dev world was the sunsetting of PHP 5.x and moving PHP to version 7. (Don't ask us where version 6 is.) Also in the horizon is [[https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php|the trasition to newer releases of version 7]].
\\
\\
Not that many organizations are prepared to deal with the change. So the [[https://moodlearning.com|moodLearning]] team has prepared a cheatsheet to cover some important technical changes to make it easier for people to transition to the new PHP  version.

===== PHP 5.x to 7 =====
==== Deprecated Functions in php5 ====


**Sample**

<code><?php
 
class Sample {
 
   function Sample() {
 
       echo 'Hello World';
 
   }
 
}
?></code>

**Fix for php7**

If your class has a constructor having the same name as your class name, then it is now deprecated in PHP 7. Change constructor to <nowiki>__construct</nowiki>

Sample

<code><?php
 
class Sample{
 
   function __construct() {
 
       echo 'Hello World!';
 
   }
 
}
 
?></code>
\\
