1.2.976. Php 7.4 New Classes

New classes, introduced in PHP 7.4. If classes where created with the same name, in current code, they have to be moved in a namespace, or removed from code to migrate safely to PHP 7.4.

The new classes are :

  • ReflectionReference

  • WeakReference

<?php

namespace {
    // Global namespace
    class WeakReference {
        // Move to a namespace
        // or, remove this class
    }
}

namespace B {
    class WeakReference {
        // This is OK : in a namespace
    }
}

?>
