Question

I am fairly new to OOP but not new to PHP. I am trying to initialize a class from within another class.

index.php

<?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require("classes/memcache.php");
require("classes/video_test.php");
$videos = new video;
?>

video_test.php

<?php
    class video {

            private $mcache;

            public function __construct() {
            $this->mcache = new MCACHE();
            }

            public static function get_scene($scene_id) {
            $info = $this->$mcache->get_item("mykey");
            }


    }
?>

PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in

Answer 1

Using $this when not in object context in

You can’t use $this in a method that’s declared static. Just remove the static keyword and use your method via the object handle:

$vid = new video()
$vid->get_scene();
