I’ve tried searching on the forums before I posted this because it’s so basic that I thought for sure it would be on here, but I didn’t see anything.
Anyways, I’m following the book and near the end of Chapter 2, we are challenged to:
I did that, and now nothing is rendering AT ALL. (By the way, I’m developing on my local machine using MAMP Pro 1.9.4 for the Mac. I’m also running Snow Leopard.)
I thought it was something I did, maybe some kind of mistake, so I started again from a brand new webapp.
From the console I typed:
/path/to/YiiBase/framework/yiic webapp test
Then I enabling Gii by editing ./protected/config/main.php.
From Gii, I created a new controller with a Controller ID of "message"; I set Action IDs to "index helloWorld"; and I left Base Class and Code Template to be their default values.
Then I opened up ./protected/controllers/MessageController.php and found the following (minus the commented code):
<?php
class MessageController extends Controller
{
public function actionHelloWorld()
{
$this->render('helloWorld');
}
public function actionIndex()
{
$this->render('index');
}
// Uncomment the following methods and override them if needed
/*
public function filters()
{
// return the filter configuration for this controller, e.g.:
return array(
'inlineFilterName',
array(
'class'=>'path.to.FilterClass',
'propertyName'=>'propertyValue',
),
);
}
public function actions()
{
// return external action classes, e.g.:
return array(
'action1'=>'path.to.ActionClass',
'action2'=>array(
'class'=>'path.to.AnotherActionClass',
'propertyName'=>'propertyValue',
),
);
}
*/
}
Standard, right? I opened up hxxp://localhost/test/index.php?r=message/helloworld in my browser and all works well.
Then I edit ./protected/controllers/MessageController.php and add a public variable:
class MessageController extends Controller
{
public $textVar = "This is sample text.";
public function actionHelloWorld()
{
...
Note, I do not change anything in the view or in actionHelloWorld() in order to display it. I don’t care about displaying it at this point, I just want to see if my syntax is correct.
I reload the page in the browser and everything still works like it’s supposed to.
Then I add the following right underneath it:
class MessageController extends Controller
{
public $textVar = "This is sample text.";
public $dateVar = date('c');
public function actionHelloWorld()
{
...
I reload the page again in the browser and now nothing will show up at all. So I go and take a look at my PHP Log and here’s what I see:
So, since I haven’t changed any other files, does that mean there’s a rogue parenthesis somewhere in Yii 1.1.6?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
