Hey, I'm creating a Call of duty 4 Server Watcher in Kohana 3, and I had created the basic classes for it before:

  1. A static Socket class (for handling basic network commands)
  2. A Cod4Socket class, (which uses the previously mentioned Socket class) that provides wrapper functions for basic commands.

What I want is to be able to use said classes inside the controllers for the website.

Where am I supposed to put the class files, where should I "include" them, and how do I use them?

Edit: I'm using Kohana 3.

See the section:

Adding your own libraries

at the Kohana docs :)

Did it on my own: http://www.dealtaker.com/blog/2010/06/02/kohana-php-3-0-ko3-tutorial-part-9/

You have to include the files in the bootstrap.php file, and then just call it normally on your controller.

This will work, but it's not the right way of doing things.

If you have built the classes yourself, and only use them together with Kohana, you should add them in the Kohana-way, like Lethargy described.

Add your class files into the application/classes/ directory with lowercase filenames.

  • Socket should go into application/classes/socket.php
  • Cod4Socket should go into application/classes/cod4socket.php

Where should I "include" them, and how do I use them?

There is no need to manually include them; simply use them as if they were already included. The Kohana autoloader will find the classes if they're in the right files.
