Re: Debugger Class not found - CakePHP 2.1 - PHP 5.4

This thread shows in lots of search results, so just to extend the answer just a little bit...

A Component was throwing the same error on Cake 2.2.1 and PHP 5.4.6. I figured it was because I added the startup() method, but forgot to type-hint the class of the parameter (Controller).

Basically, instead of:

function startup( ){

}

you should use:

public function startup( Controller $Controller) {

}

Without the public keyword, method still works for me (the public visibility is then inherited). If I use "private", "static", "protected", etc., error occurs. If I use "final", the method still works.
Which all makes big sense from OOP point of view.

If I remove the Controller type hint in the method property declaration, PHP throws error. PHP got really strict on method visibility and overrides since 5.2+.

Further reading about PHP objects: visibility, inheritance, type hinting

When extending Core classes and writing callbacks (or overriding some other methods), it's always good to check (and copy) the methods you're overriding. This way you always have strong declarations, visibility and parameters are in check (and conventionally named). You also catch a glimpse of core code, which is always good. :)

Hello,

I have a strange problem. I run on Cakephp 2.1 App on PHP 5.4 and 5.3.10. 

On PHP 5.3.10 is everything fine but on 5.4 i get this error:

Fatal error: Class 'Debugger' not found in /***/beta/app/Plugin/Markitup/View/Helper/MarkitupHelper.php on line 161

The line 161 is the last line of the file.

The head of the Helper looks like this:

App::import('Core', 'Debugger');

App::uses('AppHelper', 'View/Helper');

class MarkitupHelper extends AppHelper {

...

The funny think is that happens although with the DebugKit Plugin. 

Does anyone have the same problem?

Does anyone had the same Problem?
