[PHP] error cannot instantiate non-existent class

[Moiz M Golawala]

I am newbie with php and I am trying to instantiate a class. I am using the command line to test my stuff out before I try it with a browser. The following is my class code: (name of file is AddConfigs.inc)
<?php
class AddConfigs{

var $config;

function AddConfigs($config){
this->$config = $config;
echo " in constructor $config ";
echo " in constructor statement 2 ".$config;
}


}
?>

The following is the code of the file I am trying to instantiate the class with: (name of file is test.php)

<?php
require('C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/Alarms/AddConfigs.inc');

$a = new AddConfigs('testing');

?>

I type in "php test1" and I get the following errors:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Alarms\AddConfigs.inc on line 7

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: addconfigs in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Alarms\test1.php on line 4
Please can someone help me...?

Many Thanks
Moiz

Welcome to PHP.

> this->$config = $config;

$this->config = $config;

> Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Alarms\test1.php on line 4

That first error is being caused by your syntax error above. Since there is
parse error in the class file, the second file cannot create an instance of
the class, hence the second error. Fix that line above and both will go
away.
