Call to a member function notifyPreDispatch() on a non-object in Action.php

[Olivier Ricordeau]

Hi list,

I can't manage to get internalization working... I'm writing a class
that manages translation using ZendTranslate. Here is the class:


class Translator {

        protected $_translate;

        // Constructor
        public function Translator() {
                // Print the user's locale
                require_once "Zend/Locale.php";
                $locale = new Zend_Locale();
                print $locale->toString();

                Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Translate');
                $_translate = new Zend_Translate('gettext', '../languages/fr.mo', 'fr');
        }

        public function _($msg) {
                if ($_translate->isTranslated($msg))
                        return $_translate->_($msg);
                else
                        return $msg;
        }

}

Now, here is my controller:

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

        protected $_trans;
       
        // Constructor
        public function IndexController() {
                $_trans = new Translator();
        }

        function init()
        {
                parent::init();
        }

        public function indexAction() {
                $this->view->title = _trans->_("Main page");
        }

}

Now here is what I get when I call the index from my browser:
Fatal error: Call to a member function notifyPreDispatch() on a
non-object in
/home/olivier/public_html/ZendFramework-1.0.3/library/Zend/Controller/Action.php
on line 494

The locale isn't even displayed (when I do "print $locale->toString()"
in the Translator's class' constructor.

Can anybody help me with that?

Remark:
It's actualy "$this->view->title = $_trans->_("Main page");"

Hy Olivier,

when you look at the returned error message you will notify that the error
occurs within the action controller and not within translation.
I expect that you have problems with your path, filenames or rewrite rules.
For details about solving MVC problems please write to the mvc list.

Wether Zend_Translate nor Zend_Locale are problematic in your case... if
they were, then you would have received an exception from one of them.

No, I actualy had problems with my OO programming in PHP... But
everything is fine now. It's working. Sorry for my silly question.
I post the solution for the archives:

* Translator.php

class Translator {

        protected $_translate;

        public function Translator() {
                require_once "Zend/Locale.php";
                $locale = new Zend_Locale();
                print $locale->toString();

                Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Translate');
                $this->_translate = new Zend_Translate('gettext',
'../languages/fr.mo', 'fr');
        }

        public function _($msg) {
                if ($this->_translate->isTranslated($msg))
                        return $this->_translate->_($msg);
                else
                        return $msg;
        }

}

* IndexController class:

        protected $_trans = null;

        public function init()
        {
                parent::init();
                $this->_trans = new Translator();
        }

        public function indexAction() {
                $this->view->title = $this->_trans->_("Main page");
        }

Cheers,

Olivier

This error occurs when you define a constructor in your Controller_Action class. You should use the method preDispatch instead.
