Question

I’m getting this really bad error. I tried copying the example classes off PHP.net. The class worked but I cant seem to get it to include right. My index file includes the users.class.php and then the content.php which has the call to the class.

Error:

Fatal error: Class ‘A’ not found in
X:\xxxxx\xxxx\xxxxx\content.php on
line 2

index.php:

<?php
   require('users.class.php');
   $a = new A();
   require('content.php');
?>

content.php:

<?php
   echo $a->foo();
?>

users.class.php:

<?php
   class A
   {
      function foo()
      {
         return 'hello world';
      }
   }
?>

Answer 1

hmm… my guess is that the line

echo $a->foo();

is being executed before the preprocessor has fully read in users.class.php.

try adding this line to content.php:

require_once("users.class.php");

above the echo... line.

Also, change your index.php require to require_once as well. This will ensure that your class is read in before code is executed, and you won’t get any errors saying that the file has already been included.
