Dear Maintainer,

This script uses a PHP4-style class constructor, which was backward compatible
in PHP 5, but no longer works in PHP 7 or 8.  It doesn't cause it to throw
errors, it just causes nothing to actually happen when the script runs.

Fortunately, this is an extremely trivial thing to fix.  I am providing a patch
that resolves this issue.

Additionally...
The README file disributed with Trixie for this package is the wrong one.
The file in Trixie's /usr/share/doc/mlmmj-php-web is actually the one from the
mlmmj-php-web-admin package.  The README found in the Bookworm package is
the correct README for mlmmj-php-web

Hello Ron.

Thanks, this applied immediately, just like the other patch
(applied to source package file contrib/web/php-user/mlmmj.php)

I'll see if I can figure out what happened here. The source of MLMMJ was
different from Bookworm to Trixie due to a new upstream maintainer
taking over.
