1146 - Table 'Designs.TABLE_METHOD' doesn't exist

1. I created some new tables in the database. I populated these tables. eg "method" table.

2. I defined them in the database_tables.php

ie define('TABLE_METHOD', 'method');

3. In the general.php I cloned from another example to be:

function tep_get_method($method_array = '') {

if (!is_array($method_array)) $method_array = array();

 

$method_query = tep_db_query("select method_name from " . TABLE_METHOD . " order by method_name");

while ($method = tep_db_fetch_array($method_query)) {

$method_array[] = array('id' => $method['method_id'], 'text' => $method['method_name']);

}

 

return $method_array;

}

 

4. Uploaded and tested and get these errors for all the new tables. I am inserting new search criteria in the advanced_search.php

 

Why would these tables not be recognized?
