http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=93943

http://www.thewatch4u.co.uk/curl.php

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/hitech99/public_html/thewatch4u/curl.php on line 44

I'm sure its an easy fix but i can't see it

thanks Anthony

That error occurs when a handle hasn't been defined for the cURL functions.

There should be a statement such as

Which sets the handle (contained within $my_variable in this example) that the cURL functions will use to identify the resource to be used.

For some reason, the handle isn't being defined. It is possibly occurring because the URL for the XML feed hasn't been defined somewhere in the script's configuration.

I suggest you double check the configuration for the plug-in, in particular where you define the URL for the XML feed.

Your host is probably running PHP in safe mode. To check the configuration of your PHP installation, create a file called phpinfo.php or similar then put the following in it.

Then open the file in your browser. If you scan down the list displayed, you will see whether Safe Mode is switched on or off as well as if open_basedir is set.

The only way to change these parameters is to ask your host to edit the php.ini file which they are very unlikely to do.

What CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION does, is tell the script to follow any page redirections that are on the page you are trying to download. The chance are that there won't be so it should be safe to comment out line 16 with "//".

Line 16 will now look similar to this

This "should" solve the problem.

It'll be because open_basedir is set. This is set for security reasons to prevent injection of malicious code on to your server via log files etc. It's very unlikely that your host will change this for you so I suggest you comment out line 16 as shown in my previous post. That line will only have an effect if the URL you are downloading from uses a page redirect, if it doesn't, then the line will do absolutely nothing anyway.
