Problem with instance of CI database class - El Forum - 09-15-2008

hello all,

I have a problem working with an instance of the CI database class.

I followed a tutorial of "Bramme" -> a basic login class (named "Auth").
In the class (Auth.php) an instance of the database class is loaded:

Code:
# first lines cut

function Auth($props = array())

    {

        $this->CI =& get_instance();

        # Load additional libraries, helpers, etc.

        $this->CI->load->library('session');

        $this->CI->load->database();

# rest fo code here

Within one function, I'm able to access my database, for example:

Code:
$this->CI->db->where('vorname', $this->vorname);

        $this->CI->db->where('nachname', $this->nachname);

        $this->CI->db->where('mitgliedsnummer', $this->mitgliedsnummer);

        $this->CI->db->where('geburtsdatum', $this->geburtsdatum);

        $query = $this->CI->db->get($this->usertable);

I added a method to the class (a set new password function) and can't access
the db anymore using the same synthax. In the new method I tried:

Code:
$this->CI->db->where('mitgliedsnummer', $this->session->userdata('mitgliedsnummer'));

I just get an error message at this line:

Quote:Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ...

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Your error isn't with the database, but the session method call.

Your calling:

Code:
$this->session->userdata('mitgliedsnummer')

Should be

Code:
$this->CI->session->userdata('mitgliedsnummer')

No worries Smile

It seems it's always the easy stuff that is always the hardest to find!
