README
Name says it all. It's a tiny little PHP script that uses Nikita Popov's PHP-Parser to find PHP 4 constructors.
What are PHP 4 constructors? These:
class Bar {
public function Bar() {
}
}
If you didn't know (oh dear god), the modern way to make a constructor is public function __construct() - but for backwards-compatibility, we keep around this thing where a function with the same name of the class is magically a constructor. Yuck.
This is a problem, because what if you make a class called Filter with a method called filter? Uh-oh.
So, Levi Morrison wrote an RFC to get rid of this, and I wrote this at his request. It finds PHP4 constructors. That's it, really.
