Re: Extending AppModel

Hi Mark,
thanks for taking the time to write back. However I am not entirely
sure what you mean. I tried to pass an integer to AppModel's
constructor which is called in TriadAPI's constructor but I am still
getting the same error which is:

Fatal error: Class 'TriadApi' not found in C:\vhosts\local.solowsc\app
\models\subscriber.php on line 2

This leads me to believe that triad_api.php is in the wrong location
to do what I want to do or that I am approaching this completely ass
backwards. So what is the correct way to deal with this? I suppose I
could just have one model that represents the API and place all my
methods in that. But thats going to get messy quickly as I will be
getting Subscriber data, TV Schedule data and Device data from the
API.

What is your opinion?

Thanks
Steve
