Incomplete Objects

[timbrown]

Hi,

 

I am storing an object in a session variable, but when I call a function of that object I get the following message -

The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition "MyClass" of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload() function to load the class definition in C:\Documents and Settings\Tim Brown\My Documents\Portal\v4\test\test.php on line 4

 

I don't really want to include the class definition in the code from which the function is called.

Gotta put your session_start() after the class declaration.

 

<?php

session_start():

Class myClass{

}

?>

 

Makes that error. Do this:

 

<?php

Class myClass{

}

session_start():

?>

thanks, but I still get that error when calling the function from a second file if it does not include the class definition.

my files are like this-

 

file1

<?php
class MyClass {

public $thing = "abcdefg";

function tester(){
	echo "tester has been called!";
}
}

session_start();

$x = new MyClass;
$_SESSION["testvar"] = $x;
$_SESSION["testvar"]->tester();
?>

 

 

file 2

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["testvar"]->tester();
?>

I think in file 2 you need to include_once the file with the class in it.

 

PHP doesn't know the class definition. I think.

 

Try putting the class in a separate file and include it in both file1 and file2

Yes, because the class definition doesn't exist...you need to include it like monk.e says

so the function only exists in the definition and there is no way of holding it in the object?

thanks anyway!

Correct.
