Php 7.1 New Class
+++++++++++++++++

  New classes, introduced in PHP 7.1. 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 7.1.

The new class is : `ReflectionClassConstant <https://www.php.net/reflectionclassconstant>`_. The other class is 'Void' : this is forbidden as a class name, as Void is used for return type hint.

.. code-block:: php
   
   <?php
   
   class ReflectionClassConstant {
       // Move to a namespace, do not leave in global
       // or, remove this class
   }
   
   ?>
