I'm seeing the following line showing up in my logs: 08:08:30 [warning] [Unknown][0]: Unknown(): Unable to call () - function does not exist and I've narrowed it down to this line of code:

Update, it turns out it's not the settype(). Here's a larger context of the offending area of code:

       $query = '<my query>';

       $queryResult =& $DBAccess->db->query( $query );

       if( !( DB::isError( $queryResult ))) {
         $tmpArray = array();
         while( $queryResult->fetchInto( $tmpArray )) {
           $dbObject = new IPI_OfficeDetailsInterface();
           $dbObject->_populateMemberVariables( $tmpArray );
           $retval[] = $dbObject;

           $tmpArray = array();
           settype( $dbObject, "null" );

why not just do: unset($dbObject); ?

         }
       }

The line to concentrate on is this one: $dbObject = new IPI_OfficeDetailsInterface(); If I leave it as above, no error occurs. But I instead instantiate $dbObject as follows (which is what I was doing originally) $dbObject &= new IPI_OfficeDetailsInterface();

so you want to do a bitwise AND on a non-existant variable and a newly creately object?? maybe you meant to do: $dbObject =& new IPI_OfficeDetailsInterface();

then the error shows up in the log again. The error only goes away if I either remove the settype() function call or I remove the '&' in the instantiation. Why? thnx, Chris
