Editor 1.6.1 PHP Options error

momoko

Hi,

Since ver. 1.6.1 all of my tables stopped working because I used options. I tried one of the examples from the datatables.net, but it gives me the same error. Did I miss something when I updated the version? What can be the solution for this error?

I tried https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/join.html

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Class DataTables\Editor\Options does not have a constructor, so you cannot pass any constructor arguments' in /virtual/111.89.201.247/ssl/home/example/php/Ext/Ext.php:50

Hi,

Could you let me know what version of PHP it is that you are using please? It sounds like something that newer PHP versions are more flexible with.

I suspect that the fix will be in Ext.php - the static inst method could be updated to be:

    public static function inst ()
    {
        $rc = new \ReflectionClass( get_called_class() );
        $args = func_get_args();

        return count( $args ) === 0 ?
            $rc->newInstance() :
            $rc->newInstanceArgs( $args );
    }

Thanks,
Allan

Allan,

I ran into this problem today when upgrading to 1.6.1, and your change worked for me. I'm using PHP 5.3.3.

Thanks,
