Call to a member function error

[krohnathlonman]

The error message I'm seeing is:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_write() on a non-object in /home/usenetma/public_html/includes/functions_nntp.php on line 560

I'm working on updating the NNTP hack but I'm not quite sure whats up right now.

PHP Code:

function insert_post($threadid, $forumid, $foruminfo, $subject, $from_name, $from_email, $date, $parentid = 0)
{
    global $DB_site, $message;

    $db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
        (postid, threadid, title, username, userid, dateline, pagetext,
        allowsmilie, showsignature, ipaddress, iconid, visible,
        isusenetpost, msgid, ref, parentid) VALUES
        (NULL, $threadid, '". addslashes($subject) . "',
        '" . addslashes($from_name) . "', 0, '" . $date . "',
        '" . addslashes($message['text']) . "', 1, 0,
        '" . addslashes($from_email) . "', 0, 1, 1,
        '" . addslashes($message['message-id']) . "',
        '" . addslashes($message['references']) . "', "
        . $parentid . ")");

    $postid=$db->insert_id();

    //So that thread preview works
        $db->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
                SET firstpostid = $postid
        WHERE threadid = $threadid");


    //save attachments if any
    if ($message['attachments']) {
        process_attachments($date, $postid, $threadid, $forumid);
    }

    // Index post for searching
    build_post_index($postid, $foruminfo);

    return $postid;
} 


line 560 is this one: $db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post

Can anybody offer some tips on what this error means?

Well, the error means that $db isn't an object, which means that $db isn't valid in this functions, which means you forgot to global it

"global $DB_site" - this is the old db class I believe.
