In working on a new cakephp application I get the error message Cannot use 'Object' as class name as it is reserved in C:\projectfolder\ckphp-demo\cake\libs\object.php on line 33.
The project is a legacy web application using cakePHP 1.3.17 with php version PHP 7.4.28 on developement server. see below code for object.php
line 33 is where class Object { starts
