The documentation only mentions and shows examples of calling getXML statically. $decoder->getXML(); doesn't work, however $decoder->getXML($decodeoutput); does work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-15 12:40:02] doconnor -Status: Open +Status: Feedback -Type: Bug +Type: Documentation Problem Alex, if you think about it; you already have an instantiated $decoder variable containing a Mail_mimeDecode object - why would you need to call a static method? I'll agree that perhaps there is a doc bug or it might need more examples - where did you expect to find usage examples & didn't?. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-15 04:37:07] aldug Description: ------------ Calling the getXML () method statically, the only way I can find documentation to call it, throws a fatal error. php 5.2.17 Test script: --------------- $params['include_bodies'] = true; $params['decode_bodies'] = true; $params['decode_headers'] = true; $decoder = new Mail_mimeDecode (file_get_contents ($filename)); $structure = $decoder->decode ($params); $xml = Mail_mimeDecode::getXML($structure); Expected result: ---------------- To get an xml document Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /usr/local/php5/lib/php/Mail/mimeDecode.php on line 486 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=18538&edit=1
