    The funny thing is, it actually should be abstract since the method is implemented by the drivers and not in that file (it just defines the signature). This is the line in question. It was modified slightly in this commit to conform to standards better.

    The best way to fix this is to update PHP on your server since 5.6 was end of life in 2018. Assuming that isn't possible, use the PHP libraries from the 2.0.6 release which didn't have that change, or disable strict mode.
