PHP passing variable in __construct of a class



ive browsed many articles here but I just can't make this work for the life of me.







class Database{



private $host;



function __construct( $vhost = ''){

$this->host = $vhost == '' ? db_host : $vhost;

}



function connect(){

echo "Host: ".$this->host;

}

}







I've omitted some unnecessary code but it's same concept. I get "Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context" when trying to echo. What am I missing here?

  1. You probably call Database::connect() instead of $somevar->connect(). You can't refer to this in static context indeed.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
