PHP Deprecated code

(@malae)

Hello,
The following Deprecated PHP thrown in PHP 7.4. Can you please fix them.

PHP Deprecated:  Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; cw_axmascount has a deprecated constructor in /wp-content/plugins/santas-christmas-countdown/xmascount.php on line 68
PHP Deprecated:  Function create_function() is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/santas-christmas-countdown/xmascount.php on line 111
PHP Deprecated:  The called constructor method for WP_Widget in cw_axmascount is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 4.3.0! Use <code>__construct()</code> instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 4870

The deprecated PHP was flooding the wp-debug.log file and it grew to > 1 MB in a few days. I looked at the deprecated code and found three lines that need updating, after which. the plugin is now OK. If anybody is interested I will be happy to share the new code.

I hope this will fix your problem, but take no responsibility for any issues that may arise.

Please replace the deprecated lines, as shown below:

Line 68 function cw_axmascount() is deprecated and should be replaced with:
```
class cw_axmascount extends WP_Widget {
    function __construct()
```
Line 111 add_action( 'widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("cw_axmascount");') ); is deprecated and should be replaced with:

add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){return register_widget("cw_axmascount");});
