Non-static method CController::createUrl() should not be called statically

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

My hosting, Godaddy, has the following PHP versions to choose from: 5.3, 5.4, 5.4 (Native) and 5.5.

In my application, I get the following error if I set PHP version to 5.4 or 5.5:

Non-static method CController::createUrl() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

However, it works well with 5.3 and 5.4 (native).

I really want to set the version 5.5. What should I do?

Hi

createUrl is not a static method

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CController#createUrl-detail

So, you souldn’t use it as static

In previous PHP version warnings (or errors) may not occurs

Why call it directly ?

You could use it as


$this->createUrl(...)

when $this is your current Controller

Hi again!

In addition if you don’t want use anyway the current Controller you chould use the createUrl method of the CWebApplication




Yii::app()->createUrl(...)

//or

Yii::app()->createAbsoluteUrl(...)

Yii::app()->createUrl worked!!!

$this->createUrl didn’t work, as I was using it inside a CGridView and I got the following error:

CButtonColumn and its behaviors do not have a method or closure named "createUrl".
