Using Kohana Classes in Install.php

Question

I'm attempting to run kohana classes in the install.php file but am having no luck i moved where its included in index.php down below bootstrap.php is loaded hoping that would work but its failing anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Heres the relevant part of my install.php

if (isset($_REQUEST['license'])) {
        $spbas = new spbas;

        //validate license key
        $spbas->license_key = $_REQUEST['license'];

        // Do work!
        $spbas->validate();

        // Check for errors
        if ($spbas->errors) {
            echo json_encode(array(
                'status' => 'error',
                'message' => $spbas->errors
            ));
            die();
        } else {
            echo json_encode(array('status' => 'success'));
        }

        // Cleanup
        unset($spbas);

}

Heres the index.php

Answer 1

I ended up converting from doing it via the installer to making a controller and handling it the (correct) way.

Answer 2

You should remove your install.php after you verified you can run Kohana. Kohana will take care of the loading of classes for you through autoloading and your boostrap.php file.
