NEW TO PHP


I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/43/d228305551/htdocs/testsite/install/install.controller.php on line 60

when installing a php forum. Not sure why but line 60 reads:

$this->step("install"); 

I get this message right after setting up MySQL settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$this->step(); Has not been defined.

Thats probably very helpful but not to me because I do not know what that means.

Im new to php probably should have said that in the first post.

The $this keyword always refers to the object which instantiated a class, and the reference is always contained by the class which is instantiated. Although I don't recall ever getting the error message you refer to, it seems to me that it would happen if you attempted to use $this outside of a class definition, which makes it seem likely that you have a corrupt or incomplete install package.

I have resolved this issue, my server was not running the newest version of php available but now it, this fixed the problem.
