We import these libraries in the same way as the Joomla! library. This example
demonstrates how we import the GeSHi class from the geshi library:
jimport('geshi.geshi');
A Quick Lesson in Classes
Joomla! is designed to run on both PHP 4 and PHP 5 environments. This has an
impact on how we build classes and use objects in Joomla!, both of which we will
discuss throughout this section. Joomla! has opted to continue using the PHP 4 syntax
for reasons of backward compatibility; many webservers are still using PHP 4. As
bservers third-party developers, we should follow suit and always build our extensions to be
PHP 4 and PHP 5 compatible despite the fact that it may restrict some things.
