Hello,
I have a database driven (MS Access 2000) PHP website that runs fine on
my localhost (Apache, WinXP), but when I upload it to the web host (IIS)
and try to access a page I receive the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
c:\XXX\inc\dbConnOpen.php on line 17
The file in question contains code that forms a connection to the
database. I've used this EXACT same code on this same website for the
last 8 months with no problem.. then when I upload the WHOLE site
again.. it doesn't work.
Here's the contents of the above file:
/* Open database connection */
$db_connection = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO");
$db_connstr = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" .
realpath("directory/database.mdb") . ";DefaultDir=" .
realpath("directory");
$db_connection->open($db_connstr); // THIS IS LINE 17
Can anyone shed some light onto what this error means in plain english,
and possible what I can do.
Thanks for your time.. I'm in a bit of a pickle.
Cheers
Tim
