its not my code, I haven't even seen it run, how do I know if it will
actually help? but I have a strong feeling that it will fix the issue.

so change the code and find out. given the fact that you are migrating
php4 OO code to php5 you might consider reading up on all the potential
problems that might occur.

its __construct(), and given that the code contains php5 only syntax
I would suggest removing anything that is there for the benefit of
php4.
