copy blog apps get error

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup

Dear all, I’m new with PHP and YIIFramework, so I’m trying to write the blog apps from scratch, and copy it step by step.

In a first few steps, everything goes OK, but when I came to the Post relation function, the browser just get not fount message. if I revert the relation function code to the code generated by system, and browser get OK again. so it must be the problem of this function, however I compared this function with demos/blog/protected/models/Post.php’s corresponding function, it’s identical.

And I found ,the problem is at the const value Comments::STATUS_APPROVED, if I replace this value with a numerical number, such as 1, the page could be viewed correctly.

So my question is how the blog demo works fine, but mine gets wrong?

I have configure the following parameters in config/main.php

16 ‘import’=>array(

17 ‘application.models.*’,

18 ‘application.components.*’,

19 ),

Comment Class requires two constants to be defined to work properly:


class Comment extends CActiveRecord

{

    const STATUS_PENDING=1;

    const STATUS_APPROVED=2;

    ......

}

Marcanuy, Thanks for your replay. I have defined the const value in Comments class. I found my bug is mis-spelling of the constant value. It’s really a shame!

But could any one tell me how to debug the php script? It doesn’t like C language have a compiler to detect the spelling things and some debug tool to setup a breakpoint at running time.

Yeecho, you can use XDebug extension for PHP for debugging PHP scripts.
