Trying to extend Smarty

[dmcglone]

I'm trying to extend Smarty's Class here and I keep getting this error and can't figure out why. I've used this successfully in the past, but I'm not sure if it was PHP 5.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'PHP5 requires you to call __construct() instead of Smarty()' in /media/www/login/Smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php:803 Stack trace: #0 /media/www/login/include/setup_smarty.php(14): Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->__call('Smarty', Array) #1 /media/www/login/include/setup_smarty.php(14): Page->Smarty() #2 /media/www/login/index.php(7): Page->__construct() #3 {main} thrown in /media/www/login/Smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 803

 

here's the code that seems to be at fault:
 

class Page extends Smarty

{            

  // constructor

  function __construct()

  {          

    // Call Smarty's constructor

    $this->Smarty();

    // Change the default template directories

    $this->template_dir = TEMPLATE_DIR;

    $this->compile_dir = COMPILE_DIR;

    $this->config_dir = CONFIG_DIR;    

    $this->plugins_dir[0] = SMARTY_DIR . '/login/Smarty/libs/plugins';

    $this->plugins_dir[1] = SITE_ROOT . "/login/Smarty/libs/plugins";    

  }          

} 

Does anyone know if Smarty has changed with PHP 5? I think that is the culprit, but I'm not sure.

Thanks

No idea, what the Smarty() method does, but it looks like its depricated somehow.

 

Just replace:

 

$this->Smarty();

with

 

parent::__construct();

Thanks trq, that did the trick. I found quite a few other stuff that has changed also.
