how to test if the DOMdocument [class] exists?

[dilbertone]

 

hello dear friends - i want to test if the DOMdocument [class] exists?

 

Can i do this in the shell (on OpenSuse 11.3)?

 

bool class_exists ( string $class_name [, bool $autoload = true ] )

bool class_exists ( string $DOMdocument [, bool $autoload = true ] )

 

or do i have to create a file that i call itself in the shell!?

 

look forward for an idea / hint / tipp

 

regards

You don't have to create a file you could run it on the command line.

$ php -r 'echo (class_exists("DOMDocument")) ? "It exists \n" : "It Does NOT exist \n";'

hello dear Dj KAT,

 

good Evening!

 

You don't have to create a file you could run it on the command line.

 

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.usage.php

 

$ php -r 'echo (class_exists("DOMDocument")) ? "It exists \n" : "It Does NOT exist \n";'

 

 

again - many thanks!!

 

i did the test:

 

suse-linux:~ # martin@suse-linux:~/perl> $ php -r 'echo (class_exists("DOMDocument")) ? "It exists \n" : "It Does NOT exist \n";'
-bash: martin@suse-linux:~/perl: No such file or directory
suse-linux:~ # 

 

 

Guess that i have to install it now! then i can run your code you posted below (in the other thread)!

 

i will try to install DOMDocument! i will come back and report all my findings!

 

greetings

Actually that what you showed doesn't mean DOMDocument doesn't exist. It means you ran the command wrong. The dollar sign just indicates it's on the command line you shouldn't run that.

hi there - hello dear DJ Kat

 

well - i am a bit  confused!  what to say? ;-)

hmmm - i want to run the DOM-Document-code you suggested to me: so i am trying my best to get the Linux-box up and running with all that i need to have.

 

Lemme know if i did something wrong!?

 

well i try it on the shell:

 

Question: should i run  this:

 

$ php -r 'echo (class_exists("DOMDocument")) ? "It exists \n" : "It Does NOT exist \n";'

 

or this: on the

-r 'echo (class_exists("DOMDocument")) ? "It exists \n" : "It Does NOT exist \n";'

 

or so:

 

-r 'echo (class_exists("DOMDocument")) ? "It exists \n" : "It Does NOT exist \n"

 

hmmm - i am a bit confused...

 

love to hear from you!
