i have 2 class files. say for example.
class 1
class 2 extends class 1
class 2 uses include_once("firstclass.php")
include, require, etal are not functions exactly...
therefore the brackets are not required, in case you didn't know.
more importantly I would suggest that the include
statement in your class or where ever should be a require(_once)
statement - because without the first class the second class
cannot be used (i.e. firstclass is required!).
require_once 'firstclass.php';
then i use include_once ("secondclass.php") in my template. this does
not work. to get it to work, i must put both the files as includes in
my template.
any ideas why?
Could you define "does not work" a little more precisely?
Do you get error messages?
What do the error messages say?
Is there any output at all?
Does your computer blow up?
What?
Sorry I should have been more specific (or course)...
The template does not load. I get no error messages of any kind. Both
classes function fine when included into the template separately - but
when in include the secondclass.php which in turn includes
firstclass.php the page does not load.
sounds a bit like a problem related to your include_path ....
its possible that the firstclass.php cannot be found in the include path from
within secondclass.php OR maybe a different file is being found
(a file also called firstclass.php but containing so kind of error)
what does the following show you? (if you place it in your code):
<?
var_dump( ini_get("include_path") );
?>
btw I see such a problem regularly, that is - a require_once statement
fails because the file was not found and the script terminates
with no errors (ANYWHERE!)
ps - what the heck is a 'template' in your world?
pps - do you have error reporting turned up fully? are you logging and/or
outputing errors at all?
