error message

[dan_t]

What exactly does it mean when you get this error when trying to insert data into a database?

"Notice: Trying to get property of non-object"

 

 

This was the line with the error.

if($con->error)

[trq]

It means what it says. Your trying to access a property of something that is not an object.

[dan_t]

But it's just a connection, a connection is never an object is it?

[trq]

So why are you treating it like an object?

 

Where do you define $con?

[dan_t]

Just the standard connection, it usually works.

$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "test", "test" ) or die ('Sorry, could not connect at thie time.');

[trq]

$con is indeed not an object in your case. It is simply a connection resource.

[dan_t]

Confusingly, that's what it says it is and where it is at...?

line 30

 

30 if($con->error)

{

echo 'Something entered improperly: ' .$con->error;

}

 

it just doesn't make sense.

[trq]

$con is NOT an object. You cannot try and get a property of something that isn't an object. You are trying to get the error property of $con, which doesn't have any properties.

 

Try....

 

if (mysql_error($con)) {

 

instead.
