Question

Getting the following the error :

Fatal error: Call to a member function load() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla15\components\com_book\book.php on line 43

Here is my php function :

function viewBook($option)  
{  
  $id = JRequest::getVar('id', 0);  
  $row =& JTable::getInstance( 'book', 'Table');  
  $row->load($id);  

  if(!$row->type)  
  {  
    JError::raiseError( 404, JText::_('Invalid ID Provided'));          
  }  
  HTML_book::viewBook($row, $option);  
}

Also, when i tried printing echo $row + ” “; , it returned 0!!

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you checked you actually have a Table class well named?

For example, if your table class is called BooksTableBook, your call to JTable::getInstance should be:

JTable::getInstance( 'book', 'BooksTable' );

And if you’re using a recent version of PHP, you should remove the “&” from this line (it’s deprecated now):

$row =**&** JTable::getInstance( 'book', 'Table');

I hope it helped!
