Fatal error: Function name must be a string in.. PHP error
36,182
Solution 1
$mysql_query($query);
=> mysql_query($query);
. Note the missing dollar. If you try to use function call syntax on a variable, it looks for a function with the name given by the value of the variable. In this case, you don't have a mysql_query
variable, so it comes back with nothing, which isn't a string, and thus gives you the error.
Solution 2
You have a stray $
on mysql_query. Remove it:
mysql_query($query);

Hi I have a class called User and a method called insertUser().
function insertUser($first_name, $last_name, $user_name, $password, $email_address, $group_house_id) { $first_name = mysql_real_escape_string($first_name); $last_name = mysql_real_escape_string($last_name); $user_name = mysql_real_escape_string($user_name); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($password); $email_address = mysql_real_escape_string($email_address); $query = "INSERT INTO Users (FirstName,LastName,UserName,Password,EmailAddress, GroupHouseID) VALUES ('$first_name','$last_name','$user_name','$password','$email_address','$group_house_id')"; $mysql_query($query); }
And I call it like this:
$newUser = new User(); $newUser->insertUser($first_name, $last_name, $user_name, $email, $password, $group_house_id);
When I run the code I get this error:
Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /Library/WebServer/Documents/ORIOnline/includes/class_lib.php on line 33
Anyone know what I am doing wronly? Also, this is my first attempt at OO PHP.
Cheers,
