Hi Brian (and other skunks), *Short answer:* Upgrade to a more recent version of PEAR::Mail - namely a version higher than 1.1.7 in the version 1.1.7 change-log it states that they specifically fixed this issue: - Mail::factory() now returns object references without generating PHP warnings. See: http://pear.php.net/package/Mail/download/1.1.7 *Long answer:* I have not checked the code - but looking at the error message it seems as if they are accessing another static function/attribute from within the static factory function - however they are using the old/wrong way of doing this ( this::attributename ) instead of ( self::attributename ) In short the version of the code you are using have not been fixed (fully) to run with PHP5 Regards Michael Pedersen Brian Ngure wrote:
Hi,
To any PHP/Pear gurus. I am getting the following error in PHP5. Anyone know how to resolve?
Non-static method Mail::factory() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context
The method factory is static as noted here: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php.
This code works fine in PHP4.
