extending a class from an include file

[jms8142]

Does any know of any issues with extending a class from an include file?

i have:

include("include.inc");

class groupadmin extends groups {
function __construct() {
print "In groupsadmin constructor\n";
}
}

$obj = new groupadmin();

the groups class is in the include.inc file. When i run this I get

Fatal error: Class 'groupadmin' not found in C:\apache\htdocs\portal\admin\usergroupadmin.php on line 14

when i paste the contents of include.inc in the file it works fine.

I don't know. Given:

[tt]test_class_include.inc:[/tt]

<?php

class foo
{
	function __construct ()
	{
		print 'in base constructor';
	}
}

?>

and

[tt]test_class_include.php:[/tt]

<?php

include ('test_class_include.inc');

class bar extends foo
{
	function __construct ()
	{
		print 'In derived constructor';
	}
}


$a = new foo();
$b = new bar();

If I point my browser to test_class_include.php, I get no errors.

Just a wild stab, you are using php5 I presume as the construct ( ) is obviously specific to that.

there was no path given to the file so i guess they are in the same directory?

err... that me i think

Age is a consequence of experience

in answer to litton1, yes, it is in the same directory.

Strange, so when i tried sleipnir214's test code, adding

class foo
{
function __construct ()
{
print 'in base constructor';
}
}

to my include file and

class bar extends foo
{
function __construct ()
{
print 'In derived constructor';
}
}


$a = new foo();
$b = new bar();

to the file i'm running, i get:

in base constructor
Fatal error: Class 'bar' not found

so it gets the included class, just has a problem extending from it.

What version of PHP are you running?
