How to use a PHP class from another file?
Use include_once
instead.
This error means that you have already included this file.
include_once(LIB.'/class.php');
In this case, it appears that you've already included the file somewhere. But for class files, you should really "include" them using require_once
to avoid that sort of thing; it won't include the file if it already has been. (And you should usually use require[_once]
, not include[_once]
, the difference being that require
will cause a fatal error if the file doesn't exist, instead of just issuing a warning.)
You can use include
/include_once
or require
/require_once
require_once('class.php');
Alternatively, use autoloading
by adding to page.php
<?php
function my_autoloader($class) {
include 'classes/' . $class . '.class.php';
}
spl_autoload_register('my_autoloader');
$vars = new IUarts();
print($vars->data);
?>
It also works adding that __autoload
function in a lib that you include on every file like utils.php
.
There is also this post that has a nice and different approach.
