How to include a class in PHP [closed]

Question

I have file index.php, and I want to include file class.twitter.php inside it. How can I do this?

Hopefully, when I put the below code in index.php it will work.

$t = new twitter(); $t->username = 'user'; $t->password = 'password';  $data = $t->publicTimeline(); 

Answer 1

Your code should be something like

require_once('class.twitter.php');  $t = new twitter; $t->username = 'user'; $t->password = 'password';  $data = $t->publicTimeline(); 

Answer 2

You can use either of the following:

include "class.twitter.php"; 

or

require "class.twitter.php"; 

Using require (or require_once if you want to ensure the class is only loaded once during execution) will cause a fatal error to be raised if the file doesn't exist, whereas include will only raise a warning. See http://php.net/require and http://php.net/include for more details
