Question

I am trying to run some php from the command line but the php in my class is not being hit.

<?php
print "1";
try {
    print ",2";
    $a = new myClass("");
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    print $e->getMessage();
}
print ",3";

myClass

<?php

class myClass{

    function __construct($var) {
        print "My Class";
    }
}

The output I am getting is:

1,2

Process finished with exit code 255

Why is the print in the constructor not outputting to the command line?

Answer 1

you should be doing $a = new Checkout(); as that is the name of your class, even though you have it in a file named myclass.php probably. you should have gotten the following error:

1
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'myClass' not found in somefile.php on line whateverlineitwas
PHP Stack trace:
,2
PHP   1. {main}() /Users/cdaley/Sites/PHP-1.php:0

You are not getting the 3 either because the code is failing and exiting, weird you are not seeing an error. PS, it throws a fatal error, not an exception, prolly why it did not CATCH it.

Here is the code i am running via command line:

<?php
class myClass {

    function __construct($var) {
        print "My Class";
    }
}
    print "1";
try {
    print ",2";
    $a = new myClass("");
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    print $e->getMessage();
}
print ",3";
