Hi all, For a plugin, I'm looking to check the availability of an installed library. The only way I've found I can do this (anyone know another way?) is to do this: $libAvailable = (!@include_once("Lib/example.php")) ? false : true; Now this of course works outside of the plugin class definitions, however, I need to know from within a class method if it's available. Strangely enough, I'd think that simply adding to the class method: global $libAvailable; ...Would make this variable available from within the method, however I find that this is not the case. Now I could just simply say: function html() { ... $libAvailable = (!@include_once("Lib/example.php")) ? false : true; ... } Much to my surprise, this works, however I would imagine this is the worst possible thing you could do-- include a library from within the scope of a class method, right? Any ideas on how I can solve this problem? Or any alternatives to check existence of a library? Thanks, -- --Terence J.
