[RESOLVED] Problem defining a constant

[rtcary]

In the following code, I am opening a database, and when opened (the first time), the variable, $link is returned. The call to the sessions class works fine, however from that point on, the use of $link produces the following error:

Notice: Use of undefined constant integer - assumed 'integer' in /var/www/html/gbrc_sports/php/gb_reports.php on line nn

  $link = 0;
  $ses = new sessions($link, $gvars["host"], $gvars["user"], $gvars["password"], $gvars["database"]);
  $link = $ses->link;
  $clients = new clients($link, $gvars["host"], $gvars["user"], $gvars["password"], $gvars["database"]);

All classes contain:

  function sessions($link, $host, $user, $password, $database) {
    $this->link = $link;
    if (!$link) {
      $this->open($host, $user, $password, $database);
    }
    register_shutdown_function(array(&$this, "__destruct"));
	}

This code has been working for years without errors until the "tightening" of PHP coding rules.

This debugging line after $link = $ses->link;

print_r($ses->link) . " " . print_r($link); exit;

produces Resource id #11Resource id #11

So, $link is a Resource. How should it be Typed?

Suggestions welcomed...

Many thanks...

What is the exact line that the error message refers to?

I just solved it! The error was referring to an error I had made in the class. The error referred to

$clients = new clients($link, $gvars["host"], $gvars["user"], $gvars["password"], $gvars["database"]);

And in the class, I had not defined a variable correctly.

Bad definition: var $current_year = integer;
Proper: var $current_year; or public $current_year;

Darn! Did not think to look inside the class. but that was a change I made before turning on all php errors.

Thank you for responding.
