php-gettext Depreciated Constructor

[Bobby Russ]

1) Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
2) php-gettext: 1.0.11-2build1
3) No Error Message and smooth running was expected
4) What happened instead:

Deprecation Notice in ./../php/php-gettext/streams.php#48

From what I understand, this is fixed in 1.0.12-0.1 which is included in both 17.04 and 17.10 (Beta).

However, 16.04 LTS does not have this resolution and will keep flagging depreciation errors. While this is not a critical bug, the solution is not overly difficult from what I've read:

sudo nano /usr/share/php/php-gettext/streams.php

Line 48 StringReader Error.

Go to Line 52 and change

function StringReader ($str='') {

TO

function __construct($str='') {

Line 84 FileReader Error

Go to Line 90 and change

function FileReader($filename) {

to

function __construct($filename) {

Line 145 CacheFileReader error

Go to Line 146 and change

function CachedFileReader($filename) {

to

function __construct($filename) {

Using sudo nano /usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.php.

Line 36 gettext_reader { error

Go to line 101 and change

function gettext_reader($Reader, $enable_cache = true) {

To

function __construct($Reader, $enable_cache = true) {
