Can't Get To Run Abstract.php

alex_r · February 13, 2017

abstract class Shape
{
	// No attributes to declare
	// No constructor or destructor defined here
	
	// Method to calculate and return the area.
	abstract protected function getArea();
	
	// Method to calculate and return the perimeter.
	abstract protected function getPerimeter();
}
// End of Shape class.

Next I declared "Triangle" class

<?php
class Triangle extends Shape
{
	// Declare the attributes:
	private $_sides = array();
...

Then created the "abstract.php"

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title>Triangle</title>
		<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
	</head>
	
	<body>
	<?php
	# Script 6.3 - abstract.php
	// This page uses the Triangle class (Script 6.2), which is derived
	// from Shape (Script 6.1).
	
	// Load the class definitions
	require('Shape.php');
	require('Triangle.php');
	
	// Set the triangle's sides:
	$side1 = 5;
...

When I run abstract.php, it generates the following error

Fatal error: Class 'Shape' not found in C:~\Triangle.php on line 15

I don't understand why it's showing this error. Please help!

My PHP version is 5.6.12 using XAMPP Version 5.6.12

Strange...I just tested it myself and it worked fine. The approach in the Stack Overflow link should work but shouldn't be necessary.

Am not sure what happened too.

I tested using "include", which worked and later i used "require" and now seems to work fine no problem. I don't know what the problem is.

	// Load the class definitions
	/*
	include('Shape.php');
	include('Triangle.php');
	*/
	
	require('Shape.php');
	require('Triangle.php');

Hmm...computers are sometimes a mystery! Gla it's working now, though.
