Catchable fatal error ?

[dean7]

Hi all, ive been working on one of my scripts for my website most of today but ive came to an error which im not sure about.

 

The Error says:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/www/*****-******.com/hts2.php on line 372

 

$racelost = mysql_query("SELECT racelost FROM garage WHERE id='$carid'") or die (mysql_error());

 

That is line 372, but I carnt see nothing wrong with it .

 

Can anyone help me here please?

 

Thanks.

Where you get that bit from?

[Mchl]

You put it in your code just before line 372 and see what gets displayed.

oh sorry lol didnt noticed I had to copy it. But this is what It displayed:

 

object(stdClass)#3 (1) { ["carid"]=>  string(1) "1" }

Here's your error. $carid is in fact an object (I'm guessing coming from mysql_fetch_object) that contains the value you need. Your query should look like this:

$racelost = mysql_query("SELECT racelost FROM garage WHERE id='{$carid->carid}'") or die (mysql_error());

Thanks, that worked to remove that error.
