Re: Re: error when using $this

I am in a class as well as a constructor. class DBI { //var declarations function DBI() { $retVal = true; $this->setDBConn(mysql_connect('localhost',$this->_dbuser,$this->_dbpwd)); if ($this->getDBConn() == false) $retVal = false; if(mysql_select_db($this->getDBName(),$this->getDBConn())==false) $retVal = false; return $retVal; } //more functions... } I even tried removing $this->_dbuser and $this->_dbpwd and replacing them with hardcoded data, and the error persists.
