oh almost forgot.. this is the specific line throwing the error. $this_empHist->validate();

I have inherited an application and is now running on PHP5 instead of PHP4... i am getting the following fatal error -- Fatal error: Call to a member function validate() on a non-object the code is as follows: Thanks in advance if (isset($_POST['nJobs'])) { $nJobs_old = $empApp->nJobs; $empApp->nJobs = (int) $_POST['nJobs']; } if ($empApp->nJobs < $empApp->minJobs) $empApp->nJobs = $empApp->minJobs; if ($empApp->nJobs > $empApp->maxJobs) $empApp->nJobs = $empApp->maxJobs; for ($i=0; $i<$empApp->nJobs; $i++) { if (!isset($empApp->EmploymentHistory[$i])) { $empApp->EmploymentHistory[$i] = new empApp_EmploymentHistory(); //class in "application.class.php" } $this_empHist = &$empApp->EmploymentHistory[$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Company_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Company = $_POST['Job_Company_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Address_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Address = $_POST['Job_Address_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Phone_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Phone = $_POST['Job_Phone_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Supervisor_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Supervisor = $_POST['Job_Supervisor_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Dates_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Dates = $_POST['Job_Dates_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Position_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Position = $_POST['Job_Position_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Duties_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Duties = $_POST['Job_Duties_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Wages_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Wages = $_POST['Job_Wages_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_Leave_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_Leave = $_POST['Job_Leave_'.$i]; if (isset($_POST['Job_CanContact_'.$i])) $this_empHist->Job_CanContact = (int) $_POST['Job_CanContact_'.$i]; $this_empHist->validate(); } if (isset($nJobs_old) && $nJobs_old > $empApp->nJobs) { for ($i=$empApp->nJobs; $i<=$nJobs_old; $i++) { if (isset($empApp->EmploymentHistory[$i])) unset($empApp->EmploymentHistory[$i]); } }
