How Silly. We used $this for just about every result set in a db query. We have like a hundred applications. I just ran a sript on our whole htdocs directory and changed them all to $result. Works fine. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-23 20:10:48] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php As helly posted originally, this is expected behavior. One of the changes between php4 and php5 is that objects types are no longer mutable. You can not change $this in php 5, by design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-23 20:01:50] shelever at ukrlink dot net osCommerce 2.2-MS2 gets same error when open admin folder. Error in file includes/classes/upload.php. On Windows/IIS5/ISAPI. Resolwed by commenting: // self destruct // $this = null; Worked at PHP4 Good Luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-22 15:28:08] mschulznospam at qualserv dot net Expected behavior is if a script that works in PHP 4 also works in PHP 5. This is definitely a bug, whether it's a bug in PHP or a bug in the script. But this broke a whole bunch of scripts on our servers so I'm blaming PHP. (remove the nospam in my email address if u want to reply) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-21 18:00:33] drew at estara dot com Anyone who knows PHP objects better than me, as a simple replacement for: $this = $foo; will something like this: foreach (get_object_vars($foo) as $key => $value) $this->$key = $value; work in all cases? It's worked in all the cases I've tested it on so far (including Gallery), but I figure there must be a problem with it since no one's mentioned it so far. Drew ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-15 23:26:06] mlemos at acm dot org There is no assignment of $this in Metabase code. It was a misunderstanding of the original poster. Metabase works seeminglessly in PHP 3, PHP 4 and PHP 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
