Question

I am doing an e-learning application using CakePHP.

The problem is that I need to use the word “class” in the Controller so I can get a class link http://www.site.com/class/

Is there a way to use the word “class” or not?

I am currently using classroom (http://www.site.com/classroom) but the word itself is long.

Thanks.

I wouldn’t recommend it. Check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.keywords.php

You cannot use any of the following words as constants, class names, function or method names. Using them as variable names is generally OK, but could lead to confusion.

Pick a different name, like ‘rooms’, or leave it as classrooms. Or use Cake’s routing.
