Hello,

I'm building a login page for my app and have encountered a problem. I'm not sure why but I get Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/sh/public_html/project/system/application/libraries/auth.php on line 60 when the page attempts to load.

Here's the code (line below comment is 60)

Code:

function logged_in() {
        // Checks if user's session has a user_id in it
        if ($this->session->userdata('user_id') != FALSE) {
            return TRUE;
        } else {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }

Edit: Forgot to mention, session library is autoloaded.

Have you loaded the session library?

Yeap. Autoloaded.

The function is in an auth library which is also autoloaded. Here's the code taken from the user/login controller where the logged_in() function is called.

Code:

function login()
    {
        // Check if already logged in.
        if ($this->auth->logged_in() === TRUE) {
            redirect('user');
        }

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object suggests $this->session is not visible to your library, you should use $CI = &get;_instance(); and then $CI->session->userdata('user_id') etc.

I already do this at the start of the library:

Code:

class Auth {

    var $CI;
    
    function __construct() {
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
        log_message('debug', 'Authorization class initialized.');
    }

It's basically Erkana Auth with a few changes and additional functions.

You got the instance, now you have to use it, too

Code:

$this->auth->logged_in()
//should be
$this->CI->auth->logged_in()

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the change you said but then it gave the same error but on the $this->CI->auth->logged_in() line. I tried changing

Code:

if ($this->session->userdata('user_id')) {
// to:
if ($this->CI->session->userdata('user_id')) {

But the original error didn't change.

don't use $this->CI in your controller, only in your library. The Controller already is part of the CI Super-object

Here's the current code.

Controller - user.php

Code:

class User extends Controller
{
    function User()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        $this->load->model('user_model');
    }

    function login()
    {
        // Check if already logged in.
        if ($this->auth->logged_in() === TRUE) {
            redirect('user');
        }

        // Form inc validation and view edited out                
        
    }

Library - auth.php

Code:

<?php  if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Auth {

    var $CI;
    
    function __construct() {
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
        log_message('debug', 'Authorization class initialized.');
    }

    function logged_in() {
        // Checks if the user is logged in.
        if ($this->CI->session->userdata('user_id')) {
            return TRUE;
        } else {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
}
