RE: [PEAR] DataObject DB connection failing

Hello, You need to initialise the config related stuff before using any instance of a dataobject class. DataObject needs this to be done to have the dsn and related stuff so that it can connect to the database. $options = &PEAR::getStaticProperty('DB_DataObject','options'); DB_DataObject::debugLevel(5); $config = parse_ini_file('redbox_databases.ini', TRUE); var_dump($config); $options = $config['DB_DataObject']; $person = new DataObjects_Person; $person->get(12); Should work. If not come back here ;)) Arnaud. > Hi all, > > Just found this newsgroup and hope that I can get some clues on using > PEAR > stuff.... it's the DataObject I'm having issues with. > > I've created all the extended classes based on my database > tables.
