Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context Error message

[lovephp]

why is this message showing up when i try to post something with this symbol ¶ in the title field which is a varchar but if i put this symbol in text field no error shows

[ginerjm]

Code Please!

 

I doubt that your problem title has anything to do with the code problem you wrote below it.

sorry for the delay in reply, well here is my codes if i happen when i enter that symbol in title field only then i see the error which is referring to config.php file line 92 its the url slug function which i have and line 92 is this portion

 if($this->seems_utf8($string)){

 

the complete slug code is

 

function create_slug($string){
 $string = remove_accents($string);
 $string = symbols_to_words($string);
 $string = strtolower($string);

  "%",
  "#",
  "~",
  "_",
  "|",
 );

How about narrowing it down and just show the 10 lines before and after the problem line?

 

PS - why do you expect the forum to solve a problem that you didn't write?

[kicken]

Wherever you got that code from, it expects to be part of a class which has a seems_utf8 function in it. You need to either get the entire class and use it or modify the code to not use $this.

 

If you have a seems_utf8 function, just change the call to remove $this-> and it may work (depending on what the seems_utf8 function looks like). If you don't have that function you'll need to get it.

 

Since it seems like what you may be trying to do is convert the title to ascii for use as a URL slug, you could also just try removing all that and using iconv to convert from the input charset to ascii. For example:

 

<?php

function create_slug($title){
    //Convert to ascii
    $slug = iconv('windows-1252', 'ascii//TRANSLIT//IGNORE', $title);

    //Lowercase and limit length
    $slug = strtolower(substr($slug, 0, 90));

    //Replace whitespace with a -
    $slug = preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', $slug);

    //Remove non a-z, 0-9, - characters.
    $slug = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9-]+/', '', $slug);

    //Combine multiple - into a single -
    $slug = preg_replace('/-+/', '-', $slug);

    //Strip leading or trailing -
    $slug = trim($slug, '-');

    return $slug;
}

You may need to adjust your in charset.
