You're calling a classes method statically when it cannot be called as such - the function makes references to $this, or has otherwise been shown to be non-static. You need to create an instance of the object, then call the method through it. E.G. instead of: DB::connect('some','variables'); you have to use: $mydb = new DB; $mydb->connect('some','variables'); Without the exact code, I can only give you examples of about how it should look - but that's the gist of it. cheers, -- - Martin Norland, Sys Admin / Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
