"call to undefined function" error when calling class method


You dont have a function named assign(), but a method with this name. PHP is not Java and in PHP you have to make clear, if you want to call a function

assign()

or a method

$object->assign()

In your case the call to the function resides inside another method. $this always refers to the object, in which a method exists, itself.

$this->assign()


you need to call the function like this

$this->assign()

instead of just assign()


Mates,

I stumbled upon this error today while testing a simple script. I am not using "class" function though so it take it with grain of salt.I was calling function before its definition & declaration ...something like this

      try{             foo();         }       catch (exception $e)           {            echo "$e->getMessage()";           }       function foo(){                       echo "blah blah blah";                     }

so php was throwing me error "call to undefined function ".

This kinda seem classic programming error but may help someone in need of clue.
