Deprecated Features
PHP Core
Saner Increment/Decrement operators
Using the increment
operator (++) on empty, non-numeric,
or non-alphanumeric strings is now deprecated.
Moreover, incrementing non-numeric strings is soft deprecated.
That means no E_DEPRECATED diagnostic is emitted,
but this feature should not be used when producing new code.
The new str_increment() function should be used instead.
Using the decrement
operator (--) on empty or non-numeric strings is now deprecated.
get_class()/get_parent_class() call without arguments
Calling get_class() and get_parent_class() without arguments is now deprecated.
DBA
Calling dba_fetch() with $dba as
the 3rd argument is now deprecated.
FFI
Calling FFI::cast(), FFI::new(), and FFI::type() statically is now deprecated.
Intl
The U_MULTIPLE_DECIMAL_SEP*E*RATORS
constant had been deprecated, using the
U_MULTIPLE_DECIMAL_SEP*A*RATORS
constant instead is recommended.

Calling ldap_connect() with separate
$hostname and $port is
deprecated.
MBString
Passing a negative $width to
mb_strimwidth() is now deprecated.
