<?php if (class_exists("cl_test")) return; echo "ppppp"; class cl_test{ function cl_test(){ echo "quirky..."; } } // class definition ends ?> although the logic is clear php treats the above code differently. PHP translates it to: class cl_test{ function cl_test(){ echo "quirky..."; } } // class definition ends if (class_exists("cl_test")) return; echo "ppppp"; If you must have the previous logic to work you are forced to have the following code: if (!class_exists("cl_test")) { echo "ppppp"; class cl_test{ function cl_test(){ echo "quirky..."; } } // class definition ends } ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 210.213.129.240 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/65176 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65176/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65176/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65176/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65176/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65176/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65176/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65176 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/65176 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
