    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in constructor?

    Hi,

    I'm having a problem that I have a hard time understanding. I am getting a
    "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object" on a constructor
    of a class, that looks like this (simplified):

    class phpBB_Template {
    var $classname = "Template";

    // Root template directory.
    var $root = "";

    /**
    * Constructor. Simply sets the root dir.
    *
    */
    function phpBB_Template( $root = ".")
    { /* Error is reported on this line */
    $this->root = $root;
    }
    }

    The line where the error is reported only contains the function's opening
    accolade. As far as I understand, this error should only occur if I try to
    access a function on a variable that is not an object, but the only
    variable I am accessing, is $this, and that one is by definition an object,
    right?

    Please help!

    André

      Please ignore the above, I just wasn't looking hard enough. The problem was
      in a different file with a very similar name... Silly me...

          Hi,

          your code works fine on my computer. have you tried this:

          class phpBB_Template {
          var $classname = "Template";

          // Root template directory.
          var $root; //<----change here!



          /**
          * Constructor. Simply sets the root dir.
          *
          */
          function phpBB_Template( $root = ".")
          { /* Error is reported on this line */
          $this->root = $root;
          }
          }

          i think in php4 you're not supposed to declare non-constand vars like
          that: var $root = "blah".
