[RESOLVED] help with error in php

[cybershot]

I am getting an error, Call to undefined function connect(). I can't figure out why, can you help? The error is coming from the getAll function

    public function connect(){
    	if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root","pw"))
		{
			echo "<h2>".$TEXT['rednote-error']."</h2>";
			die();
		}
		mysql_select_db("bikesite");
	}

public function getAll(){
	connect();
	$this->collection = new Collection();
	$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customer ORDER BY name;");

  	$i=0;
	while( $row=mysql_fetch_array($result) )
	{
		//add to the test collection
		$m = new Media($row['interpret'], $row['titel'], $row['jahr'], "tracks1", "0", "10", "bar1", "1");
    	$m->id = $row['id']; 
		$this->collection->add($m);
		$i++;
	}
    return $this->collection;
}

'public function connect()' doesn't define a global function, but rather a class method. You call class methods the same way you reference class constant/parameters, using $this for example.

Try using $this->connect() instead.

well, that was a good idea, but it just changes the error. Now it might be from something else. Call to undefined method Media::connect()
