Hello, first off, Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays.

I am new here and I am testing the waters. I am NOT a PHP programmer, but I've been working with PHP for a couple of years.

My webhost upgraded to PHP5 recently and a customized script I am using for osCommerce is giving me headaches. The script looks like this:

PHP Code:

$products_array[] = array('id' => $prid,
                                    'name' => $products['products_name'],
                                    'model' => $products['products_model'],
                                    'price' => $products_price,
                                    'quantity' => $this->contents[$products_id]['qty'],
                                    'weight' => $products['products_weight'],
                                    'tax_class_id' => $products['products_tax_class_id']); 


When visiting this page, quick_order.php, the error message I get is:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/catalog/quick_order.php on line 184

Line 184 is:

PHP Code:

'quantity' => $this->contents[$products_id]['qty'], 


Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this issue? If you need more info, I would be happy to oblige.

Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

Merry Christmas!

$this is reserved to an object class when referring to functions and varibles within the internal structure of a class. So you have to use the var name used to assign the object.

Perhaps its $cart for example.

MMM, thanks mgraphic, and Merry Xmas to you too. I realize this calls a variable somewhere else.

I did search for all php files within my catalog directory that contain the variable $this->contents, to no avail. Only the file that contains the code above is listed on the search.

I played around by replacing the variable for something like:

$contents[$products_id]['qty']

The above eliminates the error message (so those commenting out the line), but the form does not work properly (I failed to mentioned that the code is for a form to be submitted to add products to my shopping cart).

Am I doing the right thing? Otherwise, what do I need to look for to replace the $this variable?

Any help would do.

Thanks,
Rodrigo

I am used to ZenCart, which is a spinoff from osCommerce, and it stores cart vars in a session varible. So you might try
$_SESSION['cart']->contents[$products_id]['qty']

You can always print out all of the global varibles too.
print_r($GLOBALS);

Once you do that, take a look at the source code, and look for the contents array.

$this used only inside class only
