class within a class

[doddsey_65]

im trying to initialize a class within another class but it says the class cant be found:

 

class template
{
     public function create_sidebar($type)
     {
             include($config['asf_root'].'functions/forum_functions.php');
        
            $forum_tree     = new forum_display;
     }
}

 

and the forum_display class does exist in the included file:

 

class forum_display
{
    public $forums = array();
    
    function get_forum_listing()

I would suggest you to check couple of things.

 

1. If $config['asf_root'] has a training slash (/)?

2. If forum_functions.php has the read permission?

You really should look into using an autoloader. Having include statements throughout your code will be a nightmare if you ever need to move things around.
