Question

I need to load controller class and I try:

App::import('Controller','AppController');

or

App::import('Controller','PagesController');

But this every time returns false. When I try this:

App::import('Model','AppModel');

it returns true, so it seems it’s not working for controllers – why?

Answer 1

When using App::import(type, name) for a controller, you don’t need to include “Controller” in the name you import, just when creating the instance variable.

App::import('Controller', 'Pages');
$Pages = new PagesController;
