So I have created a custom module for Drupal 6.x and it works as I can see the desired results in the page.tpl.php page, but when I edit a page from the GUI (it allows php tags) the object is not accessible.

I can set the values in a SESSION which I can access from the GUI as well as the module but is this the correct way to do this?

Here is the error I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getEmail() on a non-object in /var/www/domain/includes/common.inc(1695) : eval()'d code on line 221

getEmail() is a function in a class that is in my custom module. I can call it from the page.tpl.php just fine, so why can’t I call it from a page that I have edited in the Admin GUI?

EDIT:

Adding Code from Module:

//wrapperFunction() is calling the class and setting the values
// this is just a getter/setter class w/ 1 function that formats a phone number, nothing special
$custom = new CustomObj(); 
$custom->setEmail('blah@blah,com');

return $custom;

page.tpl.php

// calls the wrapper function and returns the object
$custom_obj = wrapperFunction();
echo $custom_obj->getEmail(); // this prints the email just fine

Edit page through the Admin GUI (Allows PHP tags)
Adding this code to the page

<?php echo $custom_obj->getEmail(); ?> // throws the error

Sorry this is my first Drupal Module so any insight would be great as I’m also new to using Drupal, sigh…

    Well to solve my problem I moved all the logic to the module and the fields I wanted to change on the fly I set to session. so in the page.tpl.php page I checked if the SESSION value was set, if it was use it else use a default value. By using SESSION I was able to pass all the desired values to any page regardless of where the page was made (GUI or Hard coded).
