Ive started looking at php5. Looking good in theory!!
Stuck on first bit!

class.Demo.php
<?
class Demo
{
function sayHello($name)
{
print "Hello $name";
}//finction sayHello
}


?>



demoTest.php
<?

include '/php5/class.Demo.php';
$demo = new Demo();
$demo->sayHello(kapil);

?>



I have a feeling that include() cannot be used on classes??

Thanks in advance

What error message do you get?

Could the problem be caused by 'kapil' not being in double quotes?

NOT NICE

I suppose the presence of error messages tends to farble with one's mind, when new to a language. They're pretty clear. You aren't allowed access to that file for some reason. If you did have access, there'd still be the problem Arevos mentions.

Is there any reason you're using includes and classes at the "Hello World" level? Personally, were I tutoring you, I'd bring you along a tad further, then introduce the include/require, then introduce classes.

Farble...erm...

The reason im using include and classes is that im using an advanced book. I have already covered php4 and java, now having a look at php5, however, im crap at all really!

Need it for a project at uni.

Any reason why i don't have access??

DaWei

Of course. If this is a "community system" it wouldn't even be unusual. In that case, check with your administrator. If it's a personal system, it's a setup issue. No way to answer "How do I fix it" without some nitty-gritty details.

Although this is not good programming style PHP is very flexible with mistakes like this one. In PHP this would just issue a warning, and would assume if there was no variable named kapil to send a string "kapil" as the argument.

Yeah, in the past i have used both double quotes and not. It works either way, but better programming practice

Tempest is absolutely correct. I continue to be amazed at PHP's flexibility (I'm a newbie at PHP). If you solve your access problem, your code will work as written.

add the path to the file in your php.ini
