Php – How to call a helper class magento

magentoPHP

I am trying to call a helper class in magento but stuck with an error message from magento.

The helper class is located at

app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Helper/Product/Compare.php

The class name is

class Mage_Catalog_Helper_Product_Compare extends Mage_Core_Helper_Url

I tried the below call

$helper=Mage::helper('catalog_product_compare');

Error message I got

Fatal error: Class 'Mage_Catalog_Product_Compare_Helper_Data' not
found in C:\xampp\htdocs

How can i call this helper class?

Like this:

$helper = Mage::helper('catalog/product_compare');

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

Happens when your script tries to send an HTTP header to the client but there already was output before, which resulted in headers to be already sent to the client.

This is an E_WARNING and it will not stop the script.

A typical example would be a template file like this:

<html>
    <?php session_start(); ?>
    <head><title>My Page</title>
</html>
...

The session_start() function will try to send headers with the session cookie to the client. But PHP already sent headers when it wrote the <html> element to the output stream. You'd have to move the session_start() to the top.

You can solve this by going through the lines before the code triggering the Warning and check where it outputs. Move any header sending code before that code.

An often overlooked output is new lines after PHP's closing ?>. It is considered a standard practice to omit ?> when it is the last thing in the file. Likewise, another common cause for this warning is when the opening <?php has an empty space, line, or invisible character before it, causing the web server to send the headers and the whitespace/newline thus when PHP starts parsing won't be able to submit any header.

If your file has more than one <?php ... ?> code block in it, you should not have any spaces in between them. (Note: You might have multiple blocks if you had code that was automatically constructed)

Also make sure you don't have any Byte Order Marks in your code, for example when the encoding of the script is UTF-8 with BOM.

Php – Magento Catalog ProductController rewrite

you can use like below

Edit you Package/Module/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
... Your Other config here ....
   <frontend> 
        <routers> 
          <catalog> 
             <args> 
             <modules> 
                <Package_Catalog before="Mage_Catalog">Package_Catalog</Package_Catalog>
             </modules> 
             </args> 
         </catalog> 
       </routers> 
   </frontend> 
</config>

Now your controller already ready.

include(Mage::getBaseDir()."/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/controllers/ProductController.php");
class Package_Catalog_ProductController extends Mage_Catalog_ProductController
{
      public function viewAction(){
             echo __METHOD__;
      }
}
?>
