Classes & Emails & Errors

[saint4]

Hi,

I've got 2 email files which hold the language for text based and html based mail.

Example; plain-text.php & html-text.php

Within some of the emails we use different classes called by $session_user, $listing etc and we have $POST, $GET.

Example below;

$mail['new_registration'] = 'Thanks for registering ' . $_POST['user'];

$mail['new_reply'] = 'A new reply to post titled ' . $listing->detail ('title') . ' has been added';

$listing is not initiated in the registration page so all though i may be asking for $mail['new_registration'] I get the error "call to a member function detail() on a non-object..."

Apart from putting the different emails in different files is there any way around this?

Well, if you want to use a non-static method, then you will first need to instantiate an instance of that method's class. Other than that possibly useless piece of advice, it's difficult to suggest anything else without a deeper understanding of what it is you want/need to do. Perhaps you need to take a look at the overall program flow and do some refactoring so that the listing object is instantiated before any other processing that might need it occurs.

I dont want to instantiate that member function because i'm not sending that particular email;

so basically

register.php => uses $mail['new_registration']
view_pm.php => uses $mail['new_reply']

I keep all site based language its on own file, database responses in it own file and with mail language in its own file.

but because i'm accessing $mail['new_registration'] in the mail file, there are variables or member functions which aren't instantiated i.e that in the $mail['new_reply'] which causes the errors.

So instead of creating a;
register.mail file : which includes all $mail items to do with registration in that file
and;
pm.mail file : that will include all $mail items to do with that (new pm notification, new reply notification etc)
and so forth...

i wanted to know if there was a way around it.

so i could just do allmailitems.mail file which contains all mail items which is seeming like its not possible.
