Model class not found

Question

I am trying out cakePHP so I have a very simple site. I get the following error.

class Tag extends AppModel { $name = 'Tag'; } Fatal error: Class 'Tag' not found in /home/downtown/public_html/test_cake/cake/libs/class_registry.php on line 140

in ..\app\models\tag.php I have

class Tag extends AppModel { $name = 'Tag'; }

What silly blunder am I making? I have tried clearing tmp/cache and I have reloaded cakePHP from scratch. I have seen this error in Google searches but it was a relatively obvious syntax error.

The cakephp answer system is not sending me a confirmation email so I have to ask this question here.

Answer 1

It might be, that "tag" is a reserved word in CakePHP, try to use another class name, and report if you get this error again.

My recommendation:

• cakephp on google groups

Suggestion:

Use:

var $name = 'Tag';

instead of

$name = 'Tag';

Answer 2

Yup, it was dumb.

Missing tags at the beginning and end of the file.
