Error Loading Zend Gdata framework into Wordpress

Question

I am trying to use the Zend Gdata framework with wordpress but I am having some issues. Now everything works perfectly fine when I test on localhost with XAMPP. However on my web server my code breaks down.

Here is my code to include the framework.

`set_include_path(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/');
require_once ('Zend/Loader.php'); 
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Youtube');`

That code produces the following error.

Warning: Zend_Loader::include_once(Zend/Gdata/Youtube.php) [zend-loader.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/damain/public_html/mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mysite/includes/Zend/Loader.php on line 146

I cannot seem to figure this issue out. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Did you look to see if those files exist in those directories? (/mysite/includes/Zend/Loader.php) and they have the correct permissions? It sounds like that could very well be the issue. The other thing to check with a simple phpinfo() would be that you have all of the libraries install on the live server.

Answer 2

Ok, the possible reason is: You're not using the proper case for the classname. For the version 1.11.11, it will be Zend_Gdata_YouTube rather than Zend_Gdata_Youtube.

Windows OS is ignoring the case, whereas the Linux server does not. Hope this will solve your problem, just look at the proper case of the Class or filenames.

Answer 3

The best solution in this case is to run the script requiring the Zend Loader and use var_dump(get_include_path()) to see what the server says the path is. Then keep modifying the php.ini include_path until the script finds it.

In your case, I'm not sure if 'damain' is supposed to be 'domain'. My include path which finally worked was:

/home2/thelove6/public_html/zf/ZendGdata/library" thelove6 being the username.
