PHP Constructor causes "Call to undefined method"

Question

Have been using FPDF successfully for many years. Upon upgrading to PHP7, I was informed methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of php.

Answers to question 37100373 say to simply change the function name to __construct.

I made this change in a filed called "pdf_parser.php" (FPDI - Version 1.4.4 by Jan Slabon)

function pdf_parser($filename) {

Changed to:

function __construct($filename) {

Making this change causes this error:

Call to undefined method pdf_parser::pdf_parser() in /usr/www/users/w6wehfc9/course/fpdf/fpdi_pdf_parser.php on line 74

Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.

in fpdi_pdf_parser.php change

function fpdi_pdf_parser($filename, &$fpdi)

to

function __construct($filename, &$fpdi)

and in fpdi_pdf_parser.php change

parent::pdf_parser($filename);

to

parent::__construct($filename);
