Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable::__construct()

[Cabbit]

Trying to build up a login script and this should work however i get a persistent error that crashes the script. I am not quite sure what is causing this. And googling the error reveals what may be answers however there in French/Other so i dinny understand.

Notice: Undefined index: DB in Sites/dev/application/controllers/LoginController.php on line 34

Congratulations.

Your thread broke the layout of the MacRumours homepage!

In line 34 of that code $db is assigned a value:

$db = $registry['DB'];

Then it is passed to the Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable constructor:

$authAdapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable($db);

Try printing out $db after it is assigned.

var_dump($db);

I suspect it is null.

The error is telling you it should be an instance of Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract.

I don't know about Zend so I'm not sure how you initialise an instance of this class, nor how to add it to the registry and assign it to the db key. If “abstract” name means you need to extend it with your own class first and assign an instance of that to the db variable.

I hope that gives you a starting point in finding the problem (and someone who knows more about Zend can fill in the blanks).

Out of interest, can you explain a bit more…?
