need help...

[Day Walker]

is there someone who will look over a page and see if you can see any errors...i cant find the problem... :-\ i am trying to teach my self and am a for sure rookie,lol...help please

[genericnumber1]

Do you errors enabled?

And yes, you can post code here...

[ryld]

Unless the file is bogged with errors, you shouldn't need to post the entire page.  The error message will tell you which file and line the error is generated by.  Then just post that line (and maybe relevant code such as if it's part of an if statement).  This is, of course, assuming you are using a method to echo errors...

[Day Walker]

well...the line it is telling me there is an error on is correct...it is after i added the other section that i now get the error...it says it is calling to an undefined object...the piece i added is kinda long and i think i made a mistake or two...as i said i am a n00b just trying to learn...i'll post the section here if i may...

[genericnumber1]

you.. may? Don't worry about asking if you can, just do it. :P but try to localize the problem a little so we don't get hit with a billion lines... if you REALLY can't (it happens) I guess we can TRY to sift through it.

[ryld]

Generic-
You don't like reading through a billion lines of code?

Not to hijack!  But please do post your code...and try to localize it as Genericnumber1 said...because we're lazy and don't want to read more than 3 or 4 lines.  :P

Well, I am anyway.

[Day Walker]

well then ...thanks for the willingness to help any way...im not sure just exactually where i messed up..i think it is in a section of 232 lines...total page is 3018...no way i would post that much,lol...thanks anyway

[ryld]

:o

Okay.  Well, try this.  Make a backup copy of the file and start doing some test.  Work your way from the bottom removing relevant blocks of code at a time and running the script with each edit.  Or, alternatively, remove all of the code after the point which you KNOW works, then slowly add one segment at a time, running the script again each time you add a new segment until you receive an error again.

[genericnumber1]

Stick that 232 section in  code tags... and I'll just let my IDE debug it then ? no promises though, big chunks of code make me gag.

I'm surprised that you couldn't localize the problem to a smaller area than that? Tell us what the error is and we may not even have to see code, unless it's something like "unexpected BLAH"

[Day Walker]

the error i get is :Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/bloodshe/public_html/BLOODSHEDDdev/global_funcs.php on line 374
however this error never happened till after i added this: starting @ line(513)

can you give us this line with the error? maybe 5 lines above and below it as well just in case?

sorry forgot this

[Jessica]

So what it's saying it's there's a problem with your $db->Execute. Are you use ADODB? Have you checked that your mysql connection is valid? Where is the code where you create $db

[genericnumber1]

normally what causes this is a variable not being declared...

$db->Execute() would cause this same error if $db wasn't declared.

check to make sure you aren't inside a function/method trying to use a variable not in it's scope... let me give you an example...

[code=php:0]
$db = new db();
function doStuff() {
      $db->Execute('SELECT * FROM table'); // this will flag the same error you have
}
[/code]

[Day Walker]

ok...everything ran great till i added from here down (} //To here was original...i added following and will set values later...but now i get the error...what did i do wrong?) in the big chunck i posted...i dont think i added it correctly...db is correct...blah...

[Day Walker]

oh well...thanks for trying...happy new year everyone
