any ideas

[gotornot]

I previously had a coder work for me now im learning myself the only trouble is some code he did is going wrong and he never made any comments on his work so i cant find out why the error is occuring

 

Here is the code

function ad_status($id)

{

$id = (int)$id;

 

$q = 'SELECT status FROM advert WHERE id = '.$id;

$this->db->safe_query($q, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__);

 

if (!$this->db->num_rows())

{

return ADCON_STATUS_ABSENT;

}

 

$status = $this->db->result();

 

if ($status == 1)

{

return ADCON_STATUS_ACTIVE;

}

 

return ADCON_STATUS_SUSPENDED;

}

 

This is the error it chucks up:

Call to a member function on a non-object

 

Can anyone else point me in the right direction?

Is that code within a class? Because if not, that's your problem right there

Yep sounds like this function has been taken out of the original class and called directly
