# "Redefining already defined constructor" error

 * You include a “PHP 4 Compatible Constructor” in your class `JCP_UseGoogleLibraries`
 * In PHP 5.4 with WordPress debug mode turned on, this causes an error to be generated:
 * > Strict standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class JCP_UseGoogleLibraries
   > in … /wp-content/plugins/use-google-libraries/use-google-libraries.php on line
   > 123
 * According to the [WordPress Requirements](http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/),
   WordPress has required at least PHP 5.2.4 since version 3.2
 * I suggest that you increase your “Requires at least” to 3.2 and drop PHP 4 support–
   including removing your PHP 4 Compatible Constructor.

 * This other warning is due to a WordPress change, and I haven’t figured out exactly
   what’s causing it, but I am aware.

 * I think I know what needs doing, but I haven’t had any time to do it. Hopefully
   soon.
