Question

I’ve been banging my head against this for hours yet I can’t seem to figure out the issue, essentially I have a library file that gets called in all over the place and works everywhere fine except where i’m calling it in here.

I can get slim to work fine until I try access the db object and query anything? Im probably being dim but this is more or less exactly how it says to do it in the slim docs with a couple of extra lines thrown in so it doesn’t make sense that it stops working.

    require_once "libary.php";
    require 'Slim/Slim.php';
    \Slim\Slim::registerAutoloader();

    $app = new \Slim\Slim();

    $app->get('/login/:username/:password', function ($username, $password) {
  //check the login details against the db...
    echo "I SEE THIS";
    $query = "select * from sometable";
    $db->query($query);
    echo "I DONT SEE THIS";

    });
    $app->run();

Answer 1

Sorry for the slow response, rather embarrassing but all that was needed was to insert one line of code into that inline function:

GLOBAL $db

I had assumed(incorrectly) that variable would be visible from within the function since it was defined in our library.

Thanks
