index_auto.php

 

<?php

 

define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath('../'));

$paths = array(

APPLICATION_PATH,

get_include_path()

 

 

 

);

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $paths));

 

function _autoload($className)

{

require_once $className .'.php';

return;

}

//var_dump(get_include_path());

//require_once ('user.php');

$User = new User();

echo $User->getName();

 

 

class.php<?php

 

class User

{

public function getName()

{

return "John smith";

}

}

 

?>

 

 

 

methodically went through video and only came across problems towards the end.

 

when i wrote this code and viewed it would not work

 

 

require_once $className .'.php';

return;

 

 

it returns from browser

 

 

Fatal error: Class 'User' not found in C:\wamp\www\coedelobster\video2\index_auto.php on line 19

 

 

 

have no ideas perhaps i have been doing too much and brain scrambled!!!!

I think the "autoload" function needs two "_" before the function name, not one: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.autoload.php. Try that and see if it fixes things.

what do you mean ben i have tryed below

 

 

 

<?php

define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath('../'));

 

$paths = array(

APPLICATION_PATH,

get_include_path()

 

);

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $paths));

function _"autoload($className)

{

require_once $className . '.php';

return;

}

//var_dump(get_include_path());

//require_once ('user.php');

$User = new User();

echo $User->getName();

 

 

and

 

<?php

define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath('../'));

 

$paths = array(

APPLICATION_PATH,

get_include_path()

 

);

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $paths));

function "_"autoload($className)

{

require_once $className . '.php';

return;

}

//var_dump(get_include_path());

//require_once ('user.php');

$User = new User();

echo $User->getName();

 

 

error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting T_STRING or '(' in C:\wamp\www\coedelobster\video2\index.php on line 10

 

 

 

just where has it got to go

 

I think the "autoload" function needs two "_" before the function name, not one: http://php.net/manua...5.autoload.php. Try that and see if it fixes things

 

 

have had a look on

http://uk.php.net/autoload

 

and what i have written looks fine, but i am no expert at all

 

thanks for your help ben do not want to go on until i have mastered everything, and i will not let it beat me, done the lesson twice now with exact same result.

This line:

 

function _"autoload($className)

needs to use two underscores, not one. And no quotes are needed:

 

function __autoload($className)
