For compatibility and reusability of your code, PSR1 recommends that a file should introduce either new symbols (like classes, functions, etc.) or have side-effects (like outputting something, or including other files), but not both at the same time. The first symbol is defined on line 3 and the first side effect is on line 2.
The PSR-1: Basic Coding Standard recommends that a file should either introduce
new symbols, that is classes, functions, constants or similar, or have side effects.
Side effects are anything that executes logic, like for example printing output,
changing ini settings or writing to a file.
The idea behind this recommendation is that merely auto-loading a class should not change the state
of an application. It also promotes a cleaner style of programming and makes your code
less prone to errors, because the logic is not spread out all over the place.
To learn more about the PSR-1, please see the PHP-FIG site on the
PSR-1.
This class seems to be duplicated in your project.
Duplicated code is one of the most pungent code smells. If you need to duplicate
the same code in three or more different places, we strongly encourage you to
look into extracting the code into a single class or operation.
You can also find more detailed suggestions in the “Code” section of your repository.

It is not recommended to use PHP's closing tag ?> in files other than templates.
Using a closing tag in PHP files that only contain PHP code is not recommended
as you might accidentally add whitespace after the closing tag which would then
be output by PHP. This can cause severe problems, for example headers cannot be
sent anymore.
A simple precaution is to leave off the closing tag as it is not required, and
it also has no negative effects whatsoever.
