Learning OOP in PHP, trying to refactor my code. Can't connect to database anymore.
- by Cortopasta
Thought I understood how classes work, then I tried this code:
class user
{
var $dbcon;
var $dbinfo;
var $con;
var $error;
function dbConnect()
{
$this->dbinfo['server'] = "localhost";
$this->dbinfo['database'] = "foolish_faith";
$this->dbinfo['user'] = "user";
$this->dbinfo['password'] = "password";
$this->con = "mysql:host=".$dbinfo['server']."; dbname=".$dbinfo['database'];
$this->dbcon = new PDO($con, $dbinfo['user'], $dbinfo['password']);
$this->dbcon->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$this->error = $this->dbcon->errorInfo();
if ($error[0] != "")
{
print "Error!";
print_r($error);
}
}
}
Now it just spits out this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception
'PDOException' with message 'invalid
data source name' in
E:\PortableApps\xampp\htdocs\dbcon.php:24
Stack trace: #0
E:\PortableApps\xampp\htdocs\dbcon.php(24):

E:\PortableApps\xampp\htdocs\login.php(4):
user-dbConnect() #2 {main} thrown in
E:\PortableApps\xampp\htdocs\dbcon.php
on line 24
Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong, as I'm sure it has to do with my lack of knowledge when it comes to classes?
