Datamanager inside a class

[budlight]

Hi I'm trying to write a class to use the Datamanager. This will actually be part of a plugin to my existing system. So far all plugins are defined as classes. I have this code so far: <?php
define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
define('DIE_QUIETLY', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test');
define('CWD', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/4um');
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/4um/global.php');

class externalVB {
public $vB_forumid = 12;
public $vB_postuserid = 1;
public $vB_userid = 1;
public $vB_username = 'Budlight';
public $vB_pagetext = 'test';
public $vB_title = 'hello';
public $vB_allowsmilie = '1';
public $vB_visible = '1';

function __construct() {
}

function create_new_thread($vB_username) {


global $vbulletin;

$vB_threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD, 'threadpost');
#$vB_threaddm = new vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);


$vB_threaddm->do_set('forumid', $this->vB_forumid);
$vB_threaddm->do_set('postuserid', $this->vB_postuserid);
$vB_threaddm->do_set('userid', $this->vB_userid);
$vB_threaddm->do_set('username', $this->vB_username);
$vB_threaddm->do_set('pagetext', $this->vB_pagetext);
$vB_threaddm->do_set('title', $this->vB_title);
$vB_threaddm->do_set('allowsmilie', $this->vB_allowsmilie);
$vB_threaddm->do_set('visible', $this->vB_visible);

$vB_result= $vB_threaddm->save();


return $vB_result;
}
}


if(!empty($_GET["addThread"])) {
$a = new externalVB();
echo $a->create_new_thread('Budlight');
}



?>


However I can't figure out how to move the require_once to be called in the constructor of the class. It really has to be this way but once I do it I get: Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /includes/functions.php on line 3699

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3699

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /home/cyclecha/public_html/4um/includes/functions.php on line 2772

Like shown though with the require outside the class, it works fine.

Before PHP 5, the constructor needs to have the same name as the class itself.

Try adding this function.


function externalVB()
{
$this->__construct();
}


And then place the required_once in the __construct() function.
