Question

I’ve got a really wierd problem on my hands…

When I try to require a class of mine everything after the use of => gets printed to the page instead.
There’s really no problem in the code, it worked previously when I initially developed it on a linux machine but now when I try to use it in wamp it doesnt…

So my best guess is that it’s a wamp problem although => works fine in other classes.

I’ll paste the code where this occurs anyway.

index.php:

<?php

require_once('classname.class.php');
Classname::getInstance();

classname.class.php:

<? 

class Classname
{
    protected static $defSettings = array(
        'TITLE' => 'My site'
    );
    other code...

So when I load the page it prints out:

‘My site’ );other code…

And a fatal error: “Class ‘Classname’ not found in C:\wamp\www\site\index.php on line 4”

What on earth could cause this?

EDIT: solved. Stupid “typo” error.

Every PHP code block MUST be encased with <?php ... ?> code tags, even if you’re using include() or require().

Remember, there is no such thing as a “PHP script”. There are only files that contain PHP code blocks. Without the <?php ... ?> tags, the PHP interpreter will NOT treat the text as code.
