I don't know how to explain it, but I will do my best. Ok, I have these three files:
Theme.php
path: /shared/models/Theme.php
class: Theme
namespace: namespace models;
Custom.php
path: /themes/default/Custom.php
class: Custom
namespace: this class does not use namespace
Settings.php
path: /controllers/Settings.php
class: Settings
namespace: this class does not use namespace
In my Settings.php
looks like:
<?php
class Settings
{
public function apply()
{
$theme = new \models\Theme();
$theme->customize(); // in this method the error is triggered
}
}
Now, look Theme
class below:
<?php
namespace models;
class Theme
{
public function customize()
{
$ext = "/themes/default/Custom.php";
if (file_exists($ext))
{
include $ext;
if (class_exists('Custom'))
{
$custom = new Custom();
//Here, $custom var in null, why???
}
}
}
}
When I execute the code, I get the following error:
Message: require(/shared/models/Custom.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Line Number: 64
Why the interpreter is trying to load the Custom
class from another directory instead of specified with $ext
var?
When invoking new Custom()
inside of a class in \models
namespace you're actually trying to instantiate \models\Custom
. Since you say your Custom
class "has no namespace", try new \Custom()
instead.
The error you get seems to be coming from some class autoloader that tries to require class file for \models\Custom
and fails.
