Codeigniter 2.0 MY_Router.php error

Question

I created the file MY_Router.php inside the core directory with this code:

<?php
class MY_Router extends CI_Router {

    function MY_Router()
    {
        parent::CI_Router();
    }

    function _validate_request($segments)
    {
        // Comprueba que el controlador no existe
        if (!file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$segments[0].EXT))
        {
            $segments = array("page", "load", $segments[0]);

        }
        return parent::_validate_request($segments);
    }
}
?>

When I call the application, this error appears:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Router::CI_Router() in /home/david/public_html/CodeIgniter_2.1.0/application/core/MY_Router.php on line 6

Where is the problem?

Answer 1

The problem is that there is no method in the CI_Router class called CI_Router(). In PHP4, constructors have the same name as the class. In PHP5, constructors are named __construct().

To fix the issue, change the constructor in the MY_Router class from

function MY_Router()
{
    parent::CI_Router();
}

to

function __construct()
{
    parent::__construct();
}
