[SOLVED] Acessing functions

[kwdrysdale]

Ok...I am so close to getting what I want I can almost taste it!   First, I'll explain.  I am working with an open source membership script.  I have modified it to work with userlevels so that we have to manually approve each user that registers.  When they register, it sends them an email telling them they successfully registered, but are not approved yet.  When I approve them (from admin center) I was hoping to be able to have the 'approved' email sent automatically.  Here is some snippets of what I have:

 

form code from admin center to change userlevel:

<table>
<form action="adminprocess.php" method="POST">
<tr><td>
Username:<br>
<input type="text" name="upduser" maxlength="30" value="<? echo $form->value("upduser"); ?>">
</td>
<td>Level:<br><select name="updlevel"><option value="1">1<option value="2">2<option value="9">9</select></td>
<td>
<br>
<input type="hidden" name="subupdlevel" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="Update Level">
</td></tr>
</form>
</table>

 

The code to update the userlevel (from adminprocess.php) in the database and HOPEFULLY send the email.  All code before this was error checking to ensure the username entered matches a username in the database:

$database->updateUserField($subuser, "userlevel", (int)$_POST['updlevel']);
         if($_POST['updlevel'] >= 2){
            $uduinfo = $database->getUserInfo($_POST['upduser']);
            $udemail = $uduinfo['email'];
            $uduser = $uduinfo['fname'];
            $mailer->sendApproved($uduser,$udemail);
         }

 

The getUserInfo code from database.php:

function getUserInfo($username){
      $q = "SELECT * FROM ".TBL_USERS." WHERE username = '$username'";
      $result = mysql_query($q, $this->connection);
      /* Error occurred, return given name by default */
      if(!$result || (mysql_numrows($result) < 1)){
         return NULL;
      }
      /* Return result array */
      $dbarray = mysql_fetch_array($result);
      return $dbarray;
   }

When I try to make the userlevel 2 or greater, I get this error:

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

and this is the offending line:

$mailer->sendApproved($uduser,$udemail);

 

Any suggestions on what should be changed to fix this problem?  I am really new to PHP (like I think I say in every post) so I am hoping I posted enough of the code, and that it is a simple problem.  Thanks for any help.

Where did you define the variable $mailer? You need to initiate the class.

$mailer = new yourClassName;

Thank you for the help.  It took a bit of thinking from your reply, but I did find there error.  I was missing $mailer in this:

global $session, $database, $form, $mailer;

 

It is working like a charm now and I am VERY happy!!!  Thanks again.
