What is the correct way to call an object from within a class function? This errors with: ErrorException [ Error ]: Using $this when not in object context:
<?php
class Model_Users extends Model
{
public static function _init()
{ $mongodb = \Mongo_Db::instance('content'); }
public static function get_user($name)
{ $user = $this->mongodb->get('users', array( 'name' => $name )); return $user;
}
}

This worked: <?php
class Model_Users extends Model
{
private static $mongodb;
public static function _init()
{ self::$mongodb = \Mongo_Db::instance('content'); }
public static function get_user($name)
{ $user = self::$mongodb->get('users', array( 'name' => $name )); return $user;
}
}

Harro

Don't use "self::", use "static::". There is a small but significant difference between the two, which will become appearant when you start extending classes.
