Fatal Error Wth PHP script install - Would appreciate a look see

I am in the midst of setting up a php script and I am getting the following error:

Here is the relevant peice of code (where the error is supposed to be:

Do you see any errors in the way this code is set up to create the tables? By the way, the script has a browser based installation procedure where you enter the db information.

 

the code looks rather correct, the error means that you attempted to use a method of the class Install that does not exist, or in short, the createTables() function might now be exitsing.

it would help a lot if you could post the code for the Install class

 

Here is the entire code that the above snippet is from:

 

can you post the code for this file?

require_once('../lib/Install.class.php');

 

OK, its a long one. In fact when I tried to post it I got an error saying that it was two long so I will have to break it up into two seperate posts:

 

Part two of three:

Here is the rest of it:

 

Part three of three:

 

nope, the createTables function is not there...

i think based on structure alone...

can you try replacing this line

$inst->createTables

with $sql->createTables

 

like on your first post

this line

$inst->createTables($_POST['db_host'], $_POST['db_name'], $_POST['db_user'], $_POST['db_pw']);

replace the $inst with $sql

$sql->createTables($_POST['db_host'], $_POST['db_name'], $_POST['db_user'], $_POST['db_pw']);

 

I made that change but still got the same error:

 

damn, i saw the 2nd part too late, there is a createTables function in the Install class

 

A question, a bit of a rare sight but what is the version of php there? scopes like that are only available in PHP4 as far as I know (I might be wrong) PHP5 changed the whole thing to another approach.

 

hmm, that's rather weird the function is in the class alright

 

Differences.. maybe I'm still wrong...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php (php5)

Well, you can give it a try on a php4 free host and see if it installs, if it does well I guess it was the scopes.

 

Hmmm, well the script may have been written before PHP5 came out. In the Server Requirements it says PHP 4 or higher

Here is the script I am working with http://paypalmemberscript.com/
