Help w/ getting order date

[sinduda]

Hi-

 

I'm trying to add an order date to a packing slip page that is being called from another pag. The order date works on the previos page, but not the packing slip..

 

                <td width="25%" valign="top" class="packing">

                Order Date:<?php echo $dateFormat->format($order->getOrderDate())?><br />

 

 

and getting this error...

 

Order Date:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object 

 

 

i have attached my code

You need to create a new instance of the object. So:

$dateFormat = new CLASSNAME //Change to your class name

 

Edit: Also, I am assuming you will be including that page to a page that already includes/contains your class file. If not, then make sure to include the class file.

Sorry, I forgot the semicolon:

$dateFormat = new CLASSNAME; //Change to your class name

Thanks, I can't find any include files or classes that refer to that, can I just make a new classe for this page? If so how would that look like. Sorry, I'm very new to PHP.

 

Thanks
