Question

I have been trying to test how it is possible to run functions of a local, external PHP class file and I have had no luck with it at all.

I have two classes;

<?php

Class Conversion {

public function convert () {
    return "HI!";
}

}

?>

And:

<?php
class Config {
}

$t = new Conversion();
echo $t->convert();

?>

Both of these files are in the same directory when I test them and yet I can never get an output when using the Config class, why is this? When I instantiate and echo the Conversion class within the Conversion.php file it works fine, but I can’t get it to work when doing the same in the Config.php file – why is this?

Answer 1

Having them in the same directory isn’t going to do anything. You have to include one in the other to use it’s code.

include('path/to/file.php');
