Fatal error: Call to a member function getChildren() on boolean in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\test.php on line 30?

I am using latest version of magento and following a tut+ tutorial then I got error above I am freeze I can't continue. Please help... just a newbie in magento

the code is working at the tutorial mine is not...

filename test.php

<?php
require_once 'app/Mage.php';

Mage::app();

//Mage_Catalog_Model
$category = Mage::getModel("catalog/category");

var_dump($category->getChildren());

The output must be:

string '' (length=0)

Solution

  • My bad

    I created this \app\code\local\Mage\Catalog\Model\Category.php

    so magento load this first at local folder

    I just remove the Category.php and it solve lot of my problem

    like you cannot use Mage::getModel("catalog/category") or you

    cannot manage categories at admin dashboard.

    Sorry for the dumb question newbie here anyway thanks for

    sincere response I will check the above answer as consideration.
