Email Library Problem remains unsolved - SOLVED - El Forum - 05-08-2008
[eluser]FuzzyJared[/eluser]
When I try to use the email library in my controller brings the site to a screeching hault.
Code:
function _sendEmail($email, $subject, $message)
{
$tobj =& get_instance();
$tobj->load->library('email');
$tobj->email->clear();
}I am looking at my error logs and find the following.
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function clear() on a non-object
Has anyone seen this happen or have any options for me to try in resolving this?

SOLVED !!!
I found out what the problem was. I had $this->email declared earlier for the user's email address. Changing it to
Code:
$this->my_emailEmail Library Problem remains unsolved - SOLVED - El Forum - 05-08-2008

You're referencing the same super object...

hmmmm... well that sucks. I have to go through my controllers to ensure that I am not using $this->email.

Why are you wanting a separate object in the first place?

$this->my_emailActually, when you do this:
Code:
$tobj =& get_instance()$tobj->email is exactly the same as $this->email as you are setting $tobj up as a reference to the CI super-object (i.e. $this)

I was using $this->email as a variable within the constructor so I could call it without querying it when needed.

Do you mean that you are loading the email library in your controller's constructor? If so, that still doesn't explain why you are needing a separate object.

The controller is an account controller "my_account", and I was using $this->email as a variable to quickly retrieve the user's email address within that controller.
Make sense?

Ah yes, I see, you had a class property identically named to the library. Might I suggest $this->email_address so there's no collisions? :-D
