Can you please try to change __autoload function to spl_autoload_register after clear cache and remove var directory.

/app/code/core/Mage/Core/functions.php on line 60

__autoload is generally considered obsolete. It only allows for a single autoloader. Generally you should only use __autoload if you're using a version of PHP without support for spl_autoload_register.

spl_autoload_register allows several autoloaders to be registered which will be run through in turn until a matching class/interface/trait is found and loaded, or until all autoloading options have been exhausted. This means that if you're using framework code or other third party libraries that implement their own autoloaders you don't have to worry about yours causing conflicts.

I am also having the same issue.  It is an old version because I am not familiar with Magento so the client has not requested any updates.  But the site is now down.

I changed the PHP version to 7.3, as I can see on Google 7.4 is not compatible.

If I change:

function __autoload($class)

to 

spl_autoload_register($class)

and try and log into the back end I get a constant reload state.

When I try to load the main website I get the same. The site constantly tries to reload but never achieves it!

What I do not understand is why it just started doing this now. The site has not changed, so the other possible reason is that the server updated to PHP 7.4.  But in theory putting it back to 7.3 should resolve it.

Eeeekkkkk   Help please !?!

You should replace in line 60:

function __autoload($class)

to
function __spl_autoload_register($class)

It works for me :-)

The __autoload deprecation error indicates your hosting updated to a newer PHP version that Magento 1 no longer supports. To fix this, you should:

- Upgrade to latest Magento 1.9.4.2 - handles __autoload correctly

- Migrate to Magento 2 - fully supports modern PHP versions

- Editing core files to replace __autoload is not recommended

upgrade your Magento version to maintain compatibility with your hosting's new PHP version and avoid autoload errors. Magento 1.9.4.2 or migrating to Magento 2 are the best options.
