issue with custom module

[Remitur]

Hello.

I'm writing a gateway module (mygateway.php), which need another stand-alone php file (mygateway2.php)

Both are in whmcs/modules/gateways/

 

mygateway2.php need to interact with db, so (according to http://docs.whmcs.com/Interacting_With_The_Database ) it begin with

 

use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as Capsule;

 

The problem is I get always an error of this kind:

 

PHP Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager' not found in /home/a856314wib/public_html/mydomain.ext/whmcs/modules/gateways/mygateway1.php on line 52

 

I tried with different paths, but or I did'nt guess the right one, or I lost some "include" which is necessary... :-(

[sentq]

does mygateway2.php file include "init.php"?

 

I mean if mygateway2.php file not called by WHMCS directly, then you need to add this line at the beggining of this file:

 

require_once("init.php");

Solved!

It was both a problem of include, and of relative path.

 

It was necessary to insert:

 

require_once __DIR__ . '/../../init.php';

require_once __DIR__ . '/../../includes/gatewayfunctions.php';

require_once __DIR__ . '/../../includes/invoicefunctions.php';

 

 

(the third one probably is useless, I have not checked it yet)

 

Thannk you for suggestion.

i'm not sure if it's mentioned in the documentation, but you might also want to take a look at the sample code at the WHMCS GitHub site.
