Call to a member function on a non-object

[rayge]

Im getting that error and i cannot for the lif of me figure out how i can debug it. Is it a class / function that was declared elsewhere and now its lost? Im not sure wtf to do to track this down 🙁

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

You need to create an object of a class and use the object to access any of the methods from within it. This error is just telling you that the method your trying to call at line X is being called with an invalid class object so good place to start looking would be to look at that line and make sure you didnt mispell the class object name from where you definined it earlier...also if you want to create an object as a class variable create it within the class constructor and then remember to reference the obj with $this->

If your still stuck post up a little example of what you are trying to do

The error message should tell you which file and on what line the error is occurring. Presumably that line will have something along the lines of:

$object_name->some_method()

You need to find out where $object_name is defined, ensure that it is actually being successfully instantiated, and that it is not subsequently being destroyed.

Another possibility is that you are running under a too-old version of PHP and that the code is trying to do something like:

$object_name->method_that_returns_an_object()->method_in_that_new_object()

If that is the case and upgrading your PHP installation is not an option, then you would need to change it to something like:

$new_object = $object_name->method_that_returns_an_object();
$new_object->method_in_that_new_object();
