PHP7 depreciated constructor (v2.14)
by nickrickard, Tuesday, December 15, 2015, 17:26 (3047 days ago)
Following an upgrade to PHP7.0 (7.0.0-4 on Debian sid), I now get the following message each time cliupdate.php is run from a cron job.
"Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; floIcon has a deprecated constructor
an error occured"
The update appears to still work so I think this is an information rather than critical warning, but might need a tweak for a future version of selfoss as more people move to PHP7.

You probably want to take a closer look and check if all feeds are being updated.
I'm also seeing this message/error on Arch Linux ARM after the update to php7 and some of my feeds are not updating.
I'm using the current 2.14 release and I'm planning to try the git version to see if it works, unless you have already tried it and it doesn't work.

Good spot, thanks: not all my feeds are being updated by the cron job. I'm not sure what determines which are and which aren't.
A manual update by loading "www.mysite..../selfoss/update" seems to work okay. I've taken to using this rather than the cron job I had previously in order to cut down on error messages/logs.
I haven't tried the git version yet - from a quick scan of the changelogs I couldn't explicitly see anything to suggest this issue had been addressed.

I've just tried the current git version and it also fails to update some feeds.
I still get the "Error Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; floIcon has a deprecated constructor" message.
This is an error and once you it this all further processing stops. It seems selfoss will later try other feeds so I suppose it will skip the "offending" feeds and still manage to update the ones that don't cause problems.

I guess it's time to take to take a trip to the bug tracker.
