PHP7 class constructors

[garthreckers]

All of the classes in dd-class.php use the old style constructor (name of class as function). Can these get updated to use __construct instead for future releases? Would hate to have to update that file manually each time there is a new version.

Hi @garthreckers, I agree with you on updating the class constructors to use __construct rather than the old PHP4 way. I have started work on a feature branch with Travis IC unit testing so we can see the deprecated errors in PHP7: https://travis-ci.org/aronmarriott-smith/diggdigg/jobs/180271282
As you probably already know there are a lot of deprecated warnings generated!

It may be a good idea to create a pull request with the changes you made to resolve the issue, then hopefully @katzien can merge it in and update the plugin on wordpress.org?
