it wasnt. It was just a call to a class and I forgot to annotate accoudingly. Im still haing trouble though. I could probaly stop bohering you if there was a resource where I could see the functions of Mysql and their postgresql counterparts. this is what Im getting

Warning:  pg_query(): supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in /berw/ugrad1/base/j/jpc7/public_html/test2/class.php on line 56

and the code itself

function query($sql) {
        if (!$queryResource=pg_query($sql,$this->dbConn))
            trigger_error ('Query failed: '.pg_error($this->dbConn).
                           ' SQL: '.$sql);
        return new PostgreSQLResult($this,$queryResource);
    }

If you're looking for just a function comparison, try this.

If you're not too far in your development, I'd highly recommend using the PDO drivers on that other link I gave you.

Hello i got the same problem...

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/.backbones/user/mydomain.com/config.inc.php on line 5

this is the script config.inc.php

PHP Code:

<?php


/*** Basic Site Variables (required) ***/
$this->siteurl="http://www.yourdomain.com"; // location of countercode software (without trailing slash).
$this->sitename="YourSite.com"; // the name of the counter site
$this->adminpassword="password"; // the admin password
$this->your_email='you@yourdomain.com'; // define the admin's email address.

$this->language="english"; //the language used for the user interface

/*** MYSQL Config (required) ***/
$host = "localhost"; // MYSQL host
$data = "database"; // Mysql database name
$user = "username"; // Mysql username
$pass = "password"; // Mysql password

$this has no meaning outside of an object. You should only use $this and the -> operator when working with objects. -> is used for accessing the methods of an object and $this is used when an object needs to refer to itself. In this case there is no object at all so $this does not exist.

Here's an example of when you should use $this and ->

PHP Code:

class myObject
{
     private $myVar;

     function myFunc()
     {
          $this->myVar = 'hello world';
     }

} 


In this case you don't have to use $this, but it works either way. Most of the time when I use $this is when I'm hiding a variable (ie if myFunc to a variable called $myVar as input), but there are other contexts where it is useful as well.

By the way, is there a term for the -> operator? I usually just call it the arrow operator.
