Are there any best practices for handling deprecated methods in third-party PHP scripts?

When a third-party PHP script uses deprecated methods, it can lead to compatibility issues and potential errors in your application. To handle this, you should update the script to use the recommended alternative methods provided by the developer or find a replacement script that is actively maintained. If neither of these options are feasible, you can create your own wrapper functions to mimic the deprecated methods and ensure your application continues to function properly.

// Example of creating a wrapper function for a deprecated method in a third-party script
function deprecatedMethodWrapper($arg1, $arg2) {
    // Call the deprecated method
    return deprecatedMethod($arg1, $arg2);
}

// Use the wrapper function in place of the deprecated method
$result = deprecatedMethodWrapper($value1, $value2);
