Fatal Error: call to a member function set_file() ?

[BuddahBoy]

Greetings - all of a sudden getting the following error when accessing a product in admin then clicking on "preview" whether or not the item is changed in any manner - would some kind soul give me an idea what is causing this and how to correct it please? This site has been working for about 2 years, have not installed anything or made any changes lately. Thank you very much - error message:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function set_file() on a non-object in /home/*****/public_html/admin/includes/classes/upload.php on line 31

 

Lines 30 - 41 of the mentioned file [upload.php]:

 

30

31 $this_var->set_file($file);

32

33 $this_var->set_destination($destination);

34

35 $this_var->set_permissions($permissions);

36

37 $this_var->set_extensions($extensions);

38

39

40

41 $this_var->set_output_messages('direct');

 

Thank you for any assistance, greatly appreciated.

i believe that means that your host upgraded to php5 mysql5.. thats USUALLY the issue when things get screwy without making any changes.

Thanks Lindsay - that is actually the case, the server has been upgraded - oddly enough another site that I have on the same server is fine. What is the solution to this then?

 

Thanks again

i'm not entirely sure what the solution is, but i CAN tell you that a LOT have had the same issue and fixed it, so there is one out there.

 

go to google.com and in the search type

$this_var->set_file($file);

 

This means $this_var which should have been an object is considered by code as not an object.

 

This generally happens when Session variables that were previously considered as globals are no more considered as globals with registered globals set to off.
