PHP Deprecated Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP

Question

I am working on creating an application in CodeIgniter When I send mail while registering. I'm getting an error:

PHP Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; emailcomm has a deprecated constructor in /var/www/html/portal/application/libraries/emailcomm.php on line 3

The emailcomm.php

class emailcomm
{
     
    var $to;
    var $subject;
    var $message;
    var $from='From:';    
    
    function emailcomm()
    {
        $this->CI=&get_instance();   
        ini_set("SMTP","ssl://smtp.gmail.com");
            ini_set("smtp_port","465");

            $config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
            $config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.gmail.com';
            $config['smtp_port'] = '465';
            $config['_smtp_auth']=TRUE;
            $config['smtp_user'] = 'contact-us@webtech.com';
            $config['smtp_pass'] = 'Web8*98*2015'; 
            $config['smtp_timeout'] = '60';
            $config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
            $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
            $config['mailtype'] = "html";
        
        $this->CI->load->library('email',$config); 
        
         $this->CI->email->initialize($config); 
    }
}

 My code is not working after upgrading my server to php7. How can I fix my code?

Answer 1

What you can do is you can rename your emailcomm() function with __construct():

function __construct()

I hope this helps you.
