Description:
------------
Due to the PHP5 manual the constructor of a class shall be called __construct and the method named after the class is evaluated only for compatibility reasons. The constructor of the mysqli class is mysqli, but it should be __construct.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$x = new mysqli();
if(method_exists($x, "mysqli")) echo  "mysqli exists";
if(method_exists($x, "__construct")) echo "__construct exists";

Expected result:
----------------
__construct exists

Actual result:
--------------
mysqli exists

It seems to be arguable whether this is a bug in PHP 5, because
PHP 4 style constructors are fine there, but as of PHP 7 these
constructors are deprecated, so ::mysqli() should be renamed to
::__construct().
