unable to load class error

[hakimihamdan88]

error php 5.2, no error on 5.3

i use $this->load->libraries('mark_zuckerburg'); in my controller

named as mark_zuckerburg.php in libraries contain
php <?php class Mark_Zuckerbug {}

The class name needs to be in ucfirst() format, meaning only the first letter of the class is capitalized. CI's Loader class doesn't know to capitalize the Z.

class Mark_zuckerburg {}

since when? no problem 2 weeks ago

Regarding the actual class name (not the filename), that's been the standard for a long time.

Recently, the file name itself has also been standardized to ucfirst() as well, which means the filename should match the class name. See related #1805 for some more info.

i see. thanks man

The filename requirement isn't set yet. However, I don't see how the class name could be a problem - writing stdclass and stdClass for example has never been a problem, so I'm pretty sure it's case-insensitive, just like the rest of PHP.

isn't set yet? so the problem is?

[narfbg]

Ignore me, I thought you were talking about controllers, which probably will change to Ucfirst as well. So far this is only enforced for libraries.

i wonder why the error only on php 5.2 ?

[AkenRoberts]

I don't think it's related to PHP, because the Unable to load the requested class error happens when it can't find the file, not when instantiating the class. So it's probably a file system preference on your server.

[narfbg]

Most likely - your webhost has 5.2 running on Linux (which is almost always is setup with a case-sensitive file system) and PHP 5.3 on your local machine running Windows (where both FAT* and NTFS are case-insensitive).
