note 92759 added to language.oop5.basic

ok this really basic but I always forget this. I always get an error like: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object when i deal with oops if it were me finding the error i'd search the internet for hours and then it would occur to me, I'm putting my class operator inside a function, but i would define the class in global file. so like this: test.php <? include(class.php); $class = new newclassname; function function1(){ $class->dofunc(); } ?> you'll get some die errors and try and do this with function1, function function1(){ newclassname::dofunc(); } but if you're using $this inside your class then you'll get another error on non object so basically, all you need to do is: function function1(){ $class = new newclassname; $class->dofunc(); } or function function1(){ global $class; $class->dofunc(); } i know it's simple, but it always gets me! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 69.55.78.34 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92759 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92759/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92759/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92759/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92759/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92759/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92759/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92759 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92759 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
