Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context (one-page-checkout)

[gsdcypher]

they say they have fixed everything, but when someone tries to go through the checkout process they get this error:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /public_html/includes/modules/ALLK9/create_account.php on line 413


Please help...

if i should post this somewhere else please let me know. my site has been down all day and i really need to get it working asap. it was working yesterday, they did something overnight and that's when the problems started (security errors, create account errors, etc.) Here is what i have been told by my host so far...

I added the following directives to the .htaccess file i your public_html folder:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml .htm .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml .htm .html

and

We updated PHP on your server with SUEXEC support by secure reason. It caused the problem.

but someone still cannot purchase an item due to the fatal error noted above...

Thanks.

What version Zen Cart are you running?

[gsdcypher]

this is my live site and it is running 1.3.7.

*i am working on a 1.8.8a test site to make sure everything works before i upgrade.

[gsdcypher]

do you need to log in?

[gsdcypher]

sorry i meant to say that my live site (the one that is down) is 1.3.7 and that my test site is 1.3.8a (not 1.8.8)....

so the site that is popping the fatal error is 1.3.7.

What happens if you rename this file:
l/includes/modules/ALLK9/create_account.php

to be:
l/includes/modules/ALLK9/create_account.php_HIDE

Does it start working for you?

[gsdcypher]

whoa... weird.

yep it works now.
first i want to give you a big thank you.

but what did that do???

what happened?

You appear to not have an upgraded file to match the version that you are running or some other error is in it ...

You might try running something like Beyond Comare from scootersoftware.com on a clean copy of the file and compare it to your file that you renamed to _HIDE ...

[gsdcypher]

hmmmm...

what does that do to my cart? will it still function as normal if i leave that file as _HIDE?

can i overwrite that file with a 1.3.8a file???
