Fatal Error: Call to undefined method

[Genesis730]

So I have this code that generates a random ID

class Session
{
   var $username;     //Username given on sign-up
   var $userid;       //Random value generated on current login
...
...
   function Session(){
      $this->time = time();
      $this->startSession();
}

...
...

$this->userid    = $_SESSION['userid']   = $this->generateRandID();

...
...

   function generateRandID(){
      return md5($this->generateRandStr(16));
   }

 

and when it runs i get this error...

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Session::generateRandID()

 

Any ideas?

Can we see your actual code and where you are calling this method?

 

ps: Forming a construct by naming a method the same as the class has been deprecated since php 5.

The session is called everytime a webpage is called, it's part of session.php which is included at the top of each page. That is the only code that references generateRandID other than updating it to the database.

 

And if forming a construct by naming a method the same as the class has been deprecated since php 5, what would be an example of how properly code what i am attempting?

Well, without seeing that relevant code we can't help anymore except to reiterate what the error says which is that the generateRandID() method is not part of the Session object.

Instead of....

 

function Session() {
  ....
}

 

You would use....

 

function __construct() {
  ...
}

working perfectly for me...

 

<?php
class Session
{
   var $username;     //Username given on sign-up
   var $userid;       //Random value generated on current login

   function Session(){
      $this->time = time();
      $this->startSession();
  $this->userid    =  $_SESSION['userid']   =  $this->generateRandID();
}

function startSession(){
	echo "AAA";
}


function generateRandStr(){
	echo rand(0,49);
}



   function generateRandID(){
      return md5($this->generateRandStr(16));
   }
  }

$obj = new Session();
   ?>
