Codeigniter Non-static method MY_Loader::define_module() should not be called statically

Question

I'm attemptng to run a codeigniter site locally on a vargrant CentOS VM. I have downloaded all the files, and set up the yaml / host file etc.

I am getting this error on screen

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: 8192

Message: Non-static method MY_Loader::define_module() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

Filename: controllers/Front_Controller.php

Line Number: 43

This file looks compiled, but does reference ionCube. I had to install that as well, but that has all been done. I can't see why I'm getting this error.

Could the PHP / ioncube version be an issue? On the live site, it is running PHP 5.2.17 and 4.0.7 (i'm on 5.6 and 4.7.5 locally).

Can't see whats going on.

Answer 1

You can change line 43 of Front_Controller.php to instantiate the class like:

$loaderObj = new MY_Loader();
$loaderObj->define_module($module . '/');

instead of

MY_Loader::define_module($module . '/');
