I created a class in the Lib folder of cakephp with some functions. Testing locally, and adding in controller
App::uses('readMessages', 'Utility');
Everything works correctly, but when I upload to the actual server, it says it can not find the class readMessages.
Does anyone know how to get around this? Is there a configuration file that I need to modify?
Locally my server is windows and online my server is <
windows and linux have a basic difference for file naming, Windows is not Case Sensitive and Linux yes where according to the wikipedia
Case sensitive is an English-language term that is sensitive to size, or case-sensitive, and is used to indicate that there are differences between upper and lower case letters. Methods and command in a program or a compiler, distinguishes between letter sizes.
So the windows considers two files named teste.php and Teste.php as files with the same name, which does not happen in the linux .
For the class APP cakephp the first parameter refers to the name of the file that will be imported, so I always recommend using the filename equal to what is allocated in your folder, which in this case would be
App::uses('ReadMessages', 'Utility');
