PHP errors tend to happen on the lines before the one specified by the error itself.  Your best bet is to post everything relevant to the process (I'm guessing an object's constructor) so we can see what's happening.

Post your full code, the error seems straight forward to me, you are not inside a function or object, thus $this cannot be used because there is no object to reference.

$this is used inside classes. you are not inside a class. are you sure you don't want normal variables? like:

$min_pass_length=8;
$max_pass_length=12;
$chars='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';

[premiso]

Why are you using $this, you have not defined an object period, and even if you did you would need to access the data in it with $object

 

I would suggest removing the this-> part and just making min and max variable names, or figure out what the object you are to be referencing should be and use that.

[roldahayes]

OK, I'll give that a go...

 

Its someone elses script that I'm using  - this is one of MANY bugs that it seems to have got!
