$vbulletin->db is not an object

[miguel.simoes]

Hy,

I'm trying to make an outside login for the user, without the user having to be on the forum or even to be redirected inside it. But, there is a problem...

When using:

chdir('./forum/');
require_once('./global.php');

I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in [path]\forum\includes\functions.php on line 1533

Fatal error: Call to a member function unlock_tables() on a non-object in [path]\forum\includes\functions.php on line 4240



So, I went to debug it with:
if(!is_object($vbulletin) die ("Not object");

and guess the result? Not Object.

When using the vbulletin normally no problem is reached, but when including any file (example: global.php or login.php) I get the same error.

What can be wrong? The things I was seeing in the forum where related with the case-sensitive issue of Linux, but in this case you can't miss it... all lowercase.

Can someone give me a hand?


Best regards,
Miguel Sim?es

If it's within a function, you will need to do a global $vbulletin; or global $db; to get it in scope.

Change:

PHP Code:

chdir('./forum/'); 


To:

PHP Code:

chdir('./forum'); 


Should work then

This is a VB function, not mine :squareeyed: I'm just making (until now) the include of global.php and already getting errors.


Zero Tolerance:
Nothing change :| I had the same issue before, when using the 3.0.X versions. I'm using PHP5 and I've been reading the Documentation of VB, but it only tells the "latest PHP version", so I assume that it is PHP5 compilant, even if not using a OOP structure (public, private, extends, etc... are not used).

just a note: chdir('./forum/') or chdir('./forum') or chdir('forum/') are the same thing

Hmmm... Just created a script with:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
chdir('forum/');
require_once('global.php');

And it works... nothing more. I guess that some other code within my application that is messing around with VB. But what can it be? :|

Thankx for the tip anyway.
