PHP 7.4 deprecates parent for classes without parent

[aanderson-msi]

Line 32 of ATConfig.php:
if($n == '_ivars') { return parent::__get($n); }

However, the class is declared without a parent:

/**
 * Contains various service configuration parameters as class static variables.
 *
 * {@link AddressServiceSoap} and {@link TaxServiceSoap} read this file during initialization.
 *
 * @author    Avalara
 * @copyright © 2004 - 2011 Avalara, Inc.  All rights reserved.
 * @package   Base
 */
namespace AvaTax;
class ATConfig
{

When using this class with PHP 7.4, it results in an error.

Deprecated Functionality: Cannot use "parent" when current class scope has no parent in <project>/vendor/avalara/avatax/AvaTax/ATConfig.php on line 32

Recommend returning "null" instead of the call to the parent's __get() function.

Any update on this issue?

We can't move forward on PHP upgrades because of this issue.

PHP 7.3 will be deprecated at the of this year, can you please update your code?

I opened a pull request that should fix this issue

By removing the line

if($n == '_ivars') { return parent::__get($n); }

the case of $n === 'ivars' should be caught by the else statement

Thank you @gusdemayo! I was creating a PR with the exact same change!
