Question

I am working on a Zend project and it has been well over 12 months since I touched Zend, I am getting an error on one of my functions, and I cannot work out why, I think it may be down to the site being originally built in an earlier version of PHP (5.2) and I am now running 5.3.

The function looks like this,

public function addDebug($mixedObject, $title = "")
    {
        $debugObject = new stdClass();
        $debugObject->title       = $title;   
        $debugObject->type        = gettype($mixedObject);
        $debugObject->className   = (!get_class($mixedObject)) ? "" : gettype($mixedObject);<-- Line error is complaining about -->
        $debugObject->mixedObject = $mixedObject; 
        array_push($this->debugArr, $debugObject);
    }

The error message is as follows,

get_class() expects parameter 1 to be object, array given in /server/app/lib/View.php on line 449

Any advice on the issue would be good.

Answer 1

The get_class function requires the parameter to be an object. The error says that $mixedObject is an array.

It might help to check if $mixedObject is an object first:

$debugObject->className = is_object($mixedObject) ? get_class($mixedObject) : '';
