calling a class function

[jwsaund]

The following are the 1st two lines of a php script to register a new user:

1 require("backend.php");

2 $register = $authlib->register($username, $password, $password2, $fname, $lname, $email, $sex, $school);

Class $authlib is defined in backend.php. register is a function of (and is defined in) class $authlib which takes the 8 arguments in the call above. These arguments are passed via a POST method to the script above.

I'm getting a parse error for line 2 and am puzzled. This code had actually been working before and now is giving an error. The syntax looks OK to me. Could a problem in backend.php give the error in line 2?

you can only use the syntax $authlib->register(), only the current calling class is a subclass of authlib.

if you are just calling authlib class and any of its function, then simply use:

authlib::register()

where authlib is the name of the class, and register is the functions.
