Cannot use 'Object' as class name as it is reserved

[mhoffmann75]

On yii2 Version: 2.0.15.1 with php 7.2.8 it does crash with error:

PHP Compile Error – yii\base\ErrorException
Cannot use 'Object' as class name as it is reserved

To make it work change your BaseObject.php:

namespace lucidprogrammer\simplesamlphp;
use yii\base\BaseObject as Another;


if (class_exists('Another')) {
    class MiddleManClass extends Another { }
} else {
-    class MiddleManClass extends \yii\base\Object{ }
+   class MiddleManClass extends \yii\base\BaseObject{ }
}

Which actually makes me wonder why your class_exists('Another') workaround does not work properly ...

Proposed change to your BaseObject.php:

<?php
namespace lucidprogrammer\simplesamlphp;

if (class_exists('yii\base\BaseObject')) {
    class MiddleManClass extends \yii\base\BaseObject { }
} else {
    class MiddleManClass extends \yii\base\Object{ }
}

class BaseObject extends MiddleManClass {

}

Works with php 7.2 out of the box. I cannot test this with older php....
