I am using Xampp (php/apache/ftp/etc all in one package), so i did not compile php myself the url for xampp is: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Reproduce code: --------------- class meh { function bah(){ echo "whoo?"; } } $moo = new meh(); function meee(){ global $moo; $moo->bah(); } meee(); Expected result: ---------------- "whoo?" Actual result: -------------- "Fatal error: Call to a member function bah() on a non-object in /var/www/blahblahblah.php on line huh?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34226&edit=1
