OOP Problem..

[stezz]

Hey all!

Iv'e recently been playing about with OOP and im getting an error that doesn't make sense to me..

Notice: Undefined property: sql_connect in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\e.php on line 59
fuck up!

For reference..

class sql_connect
{
var $host;
var $user;
var $pass;
var $row = array();
var $dbname;
var $db_status;
var $query_result;

// constructor time..

function sql_connect($host, $user, $pass, $db)
{
	$this->host = $host;
	$this->user = $user;
	$this->pass = $pass;
	$this->dbname = $db;

	$this->db_status = @mysql_connect($this->host, $this->user, $this->pass);
	if($this->db_status)
	{
		$dbselect = @mysql_select_db($this->dbname);
		if(!$dbselect)
		{
			@mysql_close($this->db_status);
			$this->db_status = $dbselect;
		}
	}
	else
	{
		$this->db_status = false;
	}

	return $this->db_status;
}

} // end class

$db = new sql_connect("localhost", "", "", "****");
if(!$db->sql_connect)
{
echo "fuck up!";
exit;
}
else
{
echo "Successfully connected to database.";
}

That's the code Iv'e written. The error said that the property sql_connect wasn't defined.. isn't that the sql_connect function definition?

Regards, Stezz.

I'm guessing you're doing $db->sql_connect and not $db->sql_connect()

One's an undefined property, the other's a method.

Also, since your class' name is sql_connect, the function sql_connect is its constructor. It's called automatically whenever the class is instantiated ($var = new Class).
