Php Error - Unexpected require_once expecting function

Question

I\'m currently trying to fetch the medoo framework so that I can begin easily retrieving data from my MySQL database... and for some reason it doesn\'t work!

here\'s

Answer 1

I might be wrong, but doesn't require_once 'medoo.min.php'; require parentheses? like so: require_once ('medoo.min.php');

Answer 2

Try this, its likely to work

<?
    require_once 'medoo.min.php';
    use Medoo\Medoo; //If this line raises errors, remove it

    // Initialize DB
    $database = new Medoo(
    // required
    'database_type' => 'mysql',
    'database_name' => 'name',
    'server' => 'localhost',
    'username' => 'your_username',
    'password' => 'your_password',
    );

    $email = $database->get('MM_Users', 'Email', [
        'ID' => 1
    ]);
      return $email;
    }
?>

One other bug I noticed is that you instantiated a the Medoo object (in other words, you called the Medoo class) using a Lowercase M of which shouldn't be the case. In addition remember to pass in the correct Database & Server values.

See this for more info if you're still facing challenges on that.

Answer 3

This line:

require_once('signin.php');

is inside a class but outside a method, which is not possible in PHP.

Answer 4

You can't have require_once inside a class without a function. That's the main reason.

Try putting the require_once in the construct.

To be exact :

class foo 
{
    require_once('bar.php');
}

will throw an error.
