vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Writing installer for PHP-challenged friend, need help.

dstruct2k · #1 04-21-2004, 10:23 PM

One of my friends just got a new script he wants to install, but since he has no clue how PHP/SQL work (just installed WinLAMP as an introduction) I've decided I'd write an installer script for this password-protection script. (Attachment 1)

As for my code, I'm getting odd errors.

Quote:

The installer is now running the installation queries . .
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in c:\apache\htdocs\tst\install.php on line 88

My install.php file, hand coded (although the HTML was "borrowed" from the original script to keep a consistant "feel"

) is attached (Attachment 2) and I would like some assistance.

PS - I know that to install this script, all that's needed is modify 1 PHP and run 1 query, but I would also like to expand my knowledge about PHP, and have decided to write this script as a practice. Help would be greatly appreciated.
