I am using codeIgniter to help with my php website, I am just wondering if somone could help me with this line of code as im at a blank am I missing to do somthing here :-s

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/user/domains/domain/public_html/system/application/views/header.php on line 6

line 6 of the header.php file reads:

<link href="<?=$this->config->item('base_view');?>style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Poked around Google and found this:

Might help you?

<?=$this->config->item('base_view');?>

equals seems out of place

<?echo $this->config->item('base_view');?>

I thought i did search google but i was pressed for time that day. I will have another look tonight when I get out the office. thanks for your help peeps.

This is probably a stupid question, but have you checked on their forums?

sorry for the long reply, I had thought about posting on their official forums but I thought id try my luck here first to save me sigining up for yet another community hehe lazy i know :P

if I dont get any joy remove the = then ill sign up hehe.

nope still didnt work ill give their official forums a whirl

May not be a permanent fix but try changing the $this to something else to see if the error disappears say ...$that for instance. If the error goes its because you are using php5 and $this is a predefined identifier in PHP5 and cannot be used as a var name or parameter..

says $that is not defined. :-s ill post on the official forums :P
