help on $mainframe

[rajup]

I want to know how to use globle variable like $mainframe in project.

I used one statement like $mainframe->redirect('http://myurl.com')

It is not working and its giving error as follow:

Fatal error: Call to a member function redirect() on a non-object in /var/www/joomla/administrator/components/com_mail/admin.mail.php on line 29

is it required any type of declaration of globle variable ??

Please help me..

Thanks.

You should use the JFactory object instead of globals. Try:

Code: Select all

$app =& JFactory::getApplication();
$app->redirect( <url> );

oh great ! that worked perfectly as I wanted !!!!!!!

But please let me know how to use global var like $mainframe etc. as I am keen to learn joomla.

[Chris Davenport]

The use of global variables is being deprecated, so you should avoid using them.
