Fatal error: Class 'Markdown' not found

[g-liu]

I'm using php-markdown via require_once mode.

At the top of my index.php I have require_once 'Michelf/Markdown.inc.php';. I checked the directory and file and they're all there

I try to call something as simple as:

echo Markdown::defaultTransform("hi");

and it says

Fatal error: Class 'Markdown' not found in /var/www/path/to/index.php on line 36

What's going on?

The Markdown class is in the Michelf namespace. So you have to write the namespace too when accessing the class by writing \Michelf\Markdown. Alternatively, you can create an alias with the use keyword to avoid having to write the namespace part all the time. For reference: http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php

Does this answer your question?

In case someone else finds this. Here is an example how it should be:

require_once 'Michelf/Markdown.inc.php';
echo \Michelf\Markdown::defaultTransform("hi");
