What exactly does this mean? First the error, then the code...

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in newmeeting.php on line 42

Code:

<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","USERUSERUSER","PWPWPWPW");
mysql_select_db("DBDBDBDBDB") or die ("Cannot connect to database");

?>

<title>Input New Meeting</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

<body>
<?php

	if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
		$_POST['meeting_name'] = addslashes($_POST['meeting_name']);
		$_POST['city'] = addslashes($_POST['city']);
		$_POST['address'] = addslashes($_POST['address']);
		$_POST['dow'] = addslashes($_POST['dow']);
		$_POST['time'] = addslashes($_POST['time']);
		$_POST['codes'] = addslashes($_POST['codes']);
	}

$dateadded = date('m d, Y');
$insert = "INSERT INTO meetings (

$add_member = $db_object->query($insert);
if(DB::isError($add_member)) {
	die($add_member->getMessage());
}
$db_object->disconnect();
?>

<h1>Meeting has been entered!</h1>
<p>Thank you for the update.  The meeting is now in the database!</p>
<?php

else {	// if form hasn't been submitted

Thanks in advance!

Tekron-X

Hey Dave found your problem. The error means that you did not create the object you need to create a instance of the objects class that you are using in this set of lines

$add_member = $db_object->query($insert);
if(DB::isError($add_member)) {
die($add_member->getMessage());
}
$db_object->disconnect();

you can do this with the new key word for example

$myobject = new sampleclass();

then you can use the properties and methods of that class with the object.

Hope that helps you 😉
