Hello,

I keep running into a problem with the Language class, and it’s driving me spare.

There are times when the Language class needs to be loaded and instantiated manually, typically when running some code from the ‘sessions_start’ hook.

In the past, it was possible to do something like this:

if ( ! class_exists('Language'))
{
   require_once PATH_CORE .'core.language' .EXT;
   $LANG = new Language();
   $LANG->fetch_language_file(strtolower(get_class($this));
}

echo $LANG->line('something');

In 1.6.8, a global ‘lang’ function was added, for use in View files. This would be all fine and dandy, but for the fact that core.system.php uses ‘require’, instead of ‘require_once’ to load the core.language.php file.

This results in a “cannot redeclare lang()” error, and as far as I can tell, there’s no way around it.

Am I missing something obvious here, or doing something horribly ill-advised? Or should this be filed as a bug?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,

I’ll ping the developers on this and let you know the response.  Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Brandon.

Stephen,

Just to let you know the devs have been pinged about this and we will let you know as soon as we hear anything back.

Cheers John.

😉  Obscure, but yes, annoying.  I ran it by Pascal and then switched it to require_once in core.system.php around line 582.  Should be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for the ‘heads up’!

Should be fixed in the next release.

Thanks Robin.

Cheers,
Stephen

Glad to see we were able to get to the bottom of this 😊 Please post again as needed.
