_deprecated_constructor() WordPress Function

The deprecated_constructor() function is used to mark a constructor as deprecated. Deprecated constructor functions will generate a deprecation notice when called.

_deprecated_constructor( string $class, string $version, string $parent_class = '' ) #

Marks a constructor as deprecated and informs when it has been used.


Description

Similar to _deprecated_function(), but with different strings. Used to remove PHP4 style constructors.

The current behavior is to trigger a user error if WP_DEBUG is true.

This function is to be used in every PHP4 style constructor method that is deprecated.
