static functions cannot use $this, only self. Simple solution, remove static.

Change these to protected or public:

private $name;
private $cno;
private $clocation;

Having them set to private means they cannot be overwritten (if i remember)

EDIT
Also check that you DB is connecting

db is connected and query posted as $this->getName() $this->getNO() $this->geTlocation()

Member Avatar for kiLLer.zoh_1

i have changed them to public

Should this line:

$this->stmt =execute(array('$this->getName()','$this->getNO()','$this->clocation()'));

Be:

$this->stmt =execute(array($this->getName(),$this->getNO(),$this->clocation()));

no data posted doing this

but dumped the DataBaseAction object showing this

object(DataBaseAction)#1 (8) { ["db_info":"DataBaseAction":private]=> string(40) "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=finalproject" ["db_user":"DataBaseAction":private]=> string(4) "root" ["db_pass":"DataBaseAction":private]=> string(5) "mrhot" ["db":"DataBaseAction":private]=> NULL ["stmt":"DataBaseAction":private]=> NULL ["name"]=> NULL ["cno"]=> NULL ["clocation"]=> NULL }
