FuelPHP Forums

You should not use the Core namespace when extending core classes. The way the Fuel core works is that all core classes are aliased from \Fuel\Core to the global namespace (in which your app lives). Any extended classes are defined in the global namespace, which stops the alias from being created, so your extended class will be loaded and used instead of the core class. If you manually alias a core class, you basically creating an endless loop... So it should be:

Autoloader::add_classes(array(
    'Arr' => APPPATH . 'classes/arr.php',
    'DB' => APPPATH . 'classes/db.php',
));

Just like the example that was already present in the app bootstrap.

Then you're doing something wrong. the file is called app/classes/arr.php, in lower case? And defined like so:

<?php

class Arr extends \Fuel\Core\Arr
{
 public static function _init()
 {
  \Debug::dump('MY ARR IS ALIVE!');
 }
}

Just coded this up, added this

Autoloader::add_classes(array(
 // Add classes you want to override here
 // Example: 'View' => APPPATH.'classes/view.php',
 'Arr' => APPPATH.'classes/arr.php',
));

to my app bootstrap, and it works like a charm...

I've found the source of problem - I was extending Arr class with a "merge" method, not aware that there already is such method, just not documented. Thanks for your help!
