Check your code in the php for something like $this->$property_name.
You should have it as $this->property_name [without dollar sign]
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in PHP
Whenever you got this error check the following:
1. Make sure the $this-> is used inside the object and referring to the class’s and inherited non-static members.
2. Make sure the called members of the object are properly addressed as static or member/function variables
Do you know the different different post types?
Here is an example for the second one.
Assume you have the following object
class Example
{
function getExampleText()
{
return "Example Text";
}
static function getStaticExampleText()
{
return "Static Example Text";
}
}
While accessing, if the code tries something like this one,
$example = new Example();
Example::getExampleText(); //Trying to access non-static as static
Then you would have the error
Can’t use method return value in write context – php Error
Yup, just to share – as usual.
While working on one of my projects I run this error. Here is the snippet where the error occurs:
....
$carPrice = $this->getCarPrice(); // this would return object of CarPrice
if (empty($carPrice->getCarPriceId()))
{.....
Where $carPrice is an object to be returned after passing an array of data ($new_price) to the controller.
And on the next line, I was trying to if priceId of the car is not empty.
The problem is caused on the second operand of the if statement (empty($carPrice->getCarPriceId()) –
Here is how I get fool around..
...
$car_price_id = $carPrice->getCarPriceId();
if (empty($car_price_id))
{
...
It happens that function empty() [and even isset() ] do expect a variable to be checked otherwise, parse error will happen.
