Question

In the core of Magento there is the app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Options.php class for example.

How would I create an instance of that? I tried

Mage::getModel('Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Options');

and it worked, but since this is not a Model class, but a Block class it seems wrong to create it that way. Whats the alternative to that?

Thanks! 🙂

Answer 1

Just use new Operator

$block = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Options();

as the classes will be autoloaded when you request them !
