wordpress - PHP: __call not working properly -

i'm having problem creating class called api_widgets in wordpress using magic __call function. if simple rename file derp.php , class api_derp works without problems.

the next illustration has been stripped of unimportant issue (so if there error other specific fatal error specified in 3rd code block, ignore it).

please maintain in mind know core.php or api class' __call works, renaming widgets.php or invoking class works fine.

core.php:

class api { function __call( $method, $args ) { $rmethod = "api_{$method}"; if ( !class_exists( $rmethod ) ) { $lmethod = strtolower( $method ); require_once( "{$lmethod}.php" ); } homecoming new $rmethod( $args ); } }

widgets.php:

class api_widgets { private $widgets = array(); function add( $widgets ) { if ( is_array( $widgets ) ) { foreach ( $widgets $widget ) { if ( !in_array( $widget, $this->widgets ) ) $this->widgets[] = $widget; } } else $this->widgets[] = $widgets; } }

api.php:

$api = new api(); $widgets = $api->widgets(); // fatal error: class 'api_widgets' not found in /home4/goldencr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/minecraft-api/api/core.php on line 25 //$widgets->add( 'some_widget' );

extending comment:

though not hinted @ question, seems may not included widgets.php. seek utilize absolute path prepare that:

require_once( __dir__.directory_separator.$lmethod.".php" );
