<![CDATA[PunBB Forums — $db object not global]]> https://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/12404/db-object-not-global/ Sun, 05 Nov 2006 14:51:13 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: $db object not global]]> https://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/80975/#p80975 Not sure if this helps, but I'm using CMS Made Simple with PunBB integrated...  and I can't run the install_mod without making changes.

In CMS Made Simple, to run install_mod, the 'db->' queries need to be 'pun_db->', and then they will run.

I thought the issue reported here might be a similar thing.

global $db;

at the beginning of it.
Also, be sure to load common.php at the start of your script.

EDIT: An index.php with Connorhd's Miniportal with poll.php included into it.

That's a poorly written script btw, it shouldn't use the <? short tag and I noticed quite a few SQL injects (assuming you don't have magic_quotes_gpc on)
How were you integrating it btw? I had no trouble adding common.php to poll.php

]]> Mon, 17 Jul 2006 01:16:17 +0000 https://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/73029/#p73029 <![CDATA[$db object not global]]> https://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/73028/#p73028 It looks as though many attempts at integrating PunBB with a php script (possibly only those with) are met with this error:

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

In every instance I've seen, the error points to a query with the $db object. Many people have stated that it appears that the $db object is not available globally, despite it being defined as global.

Some threads which addressed this problem to no avail:

(More if you search the forums for the error above)

Sorry if this has been fixed/posted before but I didn't see it anywhere.
