PHP Class Not Found

[JDMallion]

Hi Guys,

 

I am trying to build my application on my local test server (I have tried both WAMP and XAMPP just in case they were the problem) and I just keep getting the following error:

 

Fatal error: Class 'MySQL' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\webaddress.co.uk\php\core.php on line 44

 

The class file is being included because if I force an error in the file then it picks it up and displays an error!

 

The code for including the class file is:

 

switch ( database_type )
{
case "MySQL":
	require_once ( core_dir."class.my-sql.php" );
	$db = new MySQL( database_host, database_user, database_password, database_name );
	$db->setNames( "utf8" );
	break;
}

 

Really at a loss and any help would be appreciated!

Don't you mean mysqli ?

[JDMallion]

Nope, I have a class called MySQL. But it is not just an issue with this specific class I just commented out the MySQL class and the smarty class that is being include below throws  the same error!  :'(

 

require_once ( smarty_dir."Smarty.class.php" );
$tpl = new Smarty();

Set error_reporting to E_ALL and make sure you have display errors on. Obviously your call to require_once is failing and your error reporting is set to low to see any helpful information.

[JDMallion]

Error reporting is set to E_ALL and it is still only displaying the Fatal Error message.

 

The files are being included because if I force an error by putting some random letters in there is throws a PHP error......really do not understand what is going on!

Perhaps show us how the class is being declared in this file?

[JDMallion]

Please find the file attached, thanks for your help with this!!

Just to test, if you instaniate the class inside the file, what happens?

 

Also, the exit($host); in MySQL->MySQL(), is that just you trying to find the error?

[JDMallion]

Yep the exit is just me finding the error and if I initiate inside the file then give the same error!!

 

Stupid thing is I just tested it on our live web server  and it runs fine so must be something to do with the PHP setup!

 

Thanks again for all the help!

Is your live server also a Windows server and using the same php version as where your code does not work, because php.net has had a lot of bugs concerning resolving include/require paths and getting the _once versions to see the correct files.

 

Do you have more than one class.my-sql.php file present in other folders?

 

Does this work if you just use require() and not the _once version?

 

What is your core_dir value?

 

 

[travo1992]

Can you please post the results of

var_dump(core_dir, is_file(core_dir."class.my-sql.php"));

 

Also try chucking an exit or die before you declare the class, see what you get.

 

Thanks

[JDMallion]

The response to the var_dump was:

 

string(45) "http://localhost/webaddress.co.uk/php/" bool(false)

 

and throwing an exit; before the class is declared I get the same message:

 

Fatal error: Class 'MySQL' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\webaddress.co.uk\php\core.php  on line 44

 

So looks like the class is just not being declared!! For some damn reason!

Does not work with require or include, have tried that one

 

Do not have more than one class and my core path is:

 

http://localhost/webaddress.co.uk/php/

 

Just had a thought the use of a URL could have something to do with it, but I have turned on the setting that allows URLs.

[JDMallion]

Ha ha, just tested it with:

 

C:/xampp/htdocs/webaddress.co.uk

 

and is now working, how stupid of me!

 

Thank you everyone for your help, these forums are great! Never would have worked that out!

Urls are executed as web pages by the server, hence all you where getting was the output your class.my-sql.php script produced which is likely a blank page.

Hehe glad you got it working
