Fatal error: Class 'Menu' not found in ...

[Gerto]

I've been getting this error for a long time now , and I just can't seem to solve it. When I try to load the page it gives this error,when I refresh however, it works perfectly????

require_once("classes/menu.php");

$menu=new menu; 

function display_menu($position,$separator="<br/>")

{

    if(User::is_loggedin())

    {

        $r=Database::query("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."_menu_positions WHERE (position='".$position."') LIMIT 1");

        while($row=mysql_fetch_array($r))

        {

            menu::display_menu($row['position'],$separator);

        }

    }

} 

<?php

/*This file will be used to display the menu(s) */ 

class menu

{

    function display_menu($name,$separator="<br/>")

    {



    $r=Database::query("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."_menu_positions WHERE(position='".$name."' AND displayed='true')");

        while($row=mysql_fetch_array($r))

        {

            $id=$row['id'];

            echo "<strong>".$row['name']."</strong>";

            $r2=Database::query("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."_menu_items WHERE(menu='".$id."')");

            while($row2=mysql_fetch_array($r2))

            {

                if($userdata['session_logged_in'])     //See if phpBB is integrated, if so; add sid to enable links to phpBB

                { // user is logged in 

                    echo "ollé";

                    $link=append_sid($row2['link']);

                }

                else        //phpBB is not integrated

                    $link=append_sid($row2['link']);                

                echo $separator."<a href='".$link."'>".$row2['value'].'</a>';

            }

            echo "<br/>";

        }

    }

}

I'm sorry if the code is inefficient / ... , I'm completely new to classes and don't have too much experience with php. I hope the code is a bit clear, and someone will be able to help me with this, cause it's REALLY important that I find the solution within the next 10 hours (it's for school ).

Another remarkable thing: if I comment everything out about this class , exactly the same error comes up for the next class mentioned in the page (the code is about the same; and once again when the page is refreshed everythink works )


Thanks!!

should it be:

$menu= new menu();

Thanks hifigrafix! But that doesn't change anything.

yeah...its a little sloppy.. can you use the sytax coloring pls..

use [ PHP ] and [ /PHP ]..


the User::is_loggedin(); what is this calling? why didn't you instatiate (sp??) user first?

I'm sure it is checking the session right? Remeber with sessions, when you set the value, it won't be available until the next refresh..

So once they login, you can't check if they're logged in until the next time they refresh or go to another page. This may be why it is failing.

Check to see what your classes are linked..are you using extensions??

Class Menu EXTENDS user ?

Thanks briancastellanos!

That was the problem, I now refresh the page immediately so the error doesn't occur,

Thanks, you saved the day ;-)
