Amazing solutions for the methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of php error

I am tired of fixing the problem: methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of php in the php; even if I get the reference from another forum, it still returns an error:

PHP Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; emailcomm has a deprecated constructor in /var/www/html/portal/application/libraries/emailcomm.php on line 3

To identify the problem, I will show you the detail here:

class emailcomm
 {
  
  var $to;
  var $subject;
  var $message;
  var $from='From:'; 
  
  function emailcomm()
  {
  $this->CI=&get_instance(); 
  ini_set("SMTP","ssl://smtp.gmail.com");
  ini_set("smtp_port","465");
 
  $config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
  $config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.gmail.com';
  $config['smtp_port'] = '465';
  $config['_smtp_auth']=TRUE;
  $config['smtp_user'] = '[email protected]';
  $config['smtp_pass'] = 'Web8*98*2015'; 
  $config['smtp_timeout'] = '60';
  $config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
  $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
  $config['mailtype'] = "html";
  
  $this->CI->load->library('email',$config); 
  
  $this->CI->email->initialize($config); 
  }
 }

How do I do that? Could you support me in improving this problem?

    The cause: The cause of this error is that if PHP cannot find a __construct() function for a given class in prior versions, it will look for the old-style constructor function by the class name, however old-style constructors are now DEPRECATED in PHP 7.0 and will be deleted in a future version.

    The solution: To solve this problem, you can rename your emailcomm() function with __construct()as the following:

    function __construct()

  2. Solution: Change the name of your function emailcomm() in __construct()

    Explanation In the previous versions of PHP PHP searched for the __construct() function for the given class. However, the PHP 7.0 will now search for the old-style constructor function by the class name. Old style constructors will no longer be DEPRECATED and will be removed from a future release. __construct() should be used in all new code. PHP manual 

     function __construct() {
 // copy your old constructor function code here
 }
