Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time to write back. However I am not entirely sure what you mean. I tried to pass an integer to AppModel's constructor which is called in TriadAPI's constructor but I am still getting the same error which is:
Fatal error: Class 'TriadApi' not found in C:\vhosts\local.solowsc\app \models\subscriber.php on line 2 This leads me to believe that triad_api.php is in the wrong location to do what I want to do or that I am approaching this completely ass backwards. So what is the correct way to deal with this? I suppose I could just have one model that represents the API and place all my methods in that. But thats going to get messy quickly as I will be getting Subscriber data, TV Schedule data and Device data from the API. What is your opinion?
