You're using a class to do this probably. However when you named this class, you named it String.

PHP and other languages have reserved terms that are for internal functions and variables only. We can't use them.

Simply change the classname to something else and it will work normally.

String is reserved keywords. you can't use String as class names in PHP 7. change it to any other name. like Sting_type.
