   Hi all

   I have just developed a wordpress plugin and it is all strutured within a class called isimpledesign_feeds_class() so everything works fine and i am calling a function out from the class using.

   <?php $isimpledesign = new isimpledesign_feeds_class(); $isimpledesign->isimpledesign_feeds(); ?>

   i was just wondering if their is a problem calling it like this because from previous plugins i have always used

   <?php if (function_exists('isimpledesign_feeds')) { isimpledesign_feeds(); } ?>

   to call a function in the theme files.

   Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions???

   Thanks

   You could use the PHP function class_exists() to check for a particular class existence:

   http://php.net/manual/en/function.class-exists.php

   Or, for a particular method of an existing class you can use the PHP function method_exists() to check if a class function (method) exists:

   http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.method-exists.php

   So, your code would become something like:

   <?php
     if ( method_exists($isimpledesign, 'isimpledesign_feeds') ) { $isimpledesign->isimpledesign_feeds(); }
   ?>
