[PHP-DB] mysql, php error

[James]

I'm pretty new to this...I've set this book example up on my PC and 
it's fine.
I've attempted this on two Macs...

Here's the error I get when I try to run the application.  What does 
the error mean?

[snip]
You're calling a classes method statically when it cannot be called as 
such - the function makes references to $this, or has otherwise been 
shown to be non-static.

You need to create an instance of the object, then call the method 
through it.

E.G. instead of:
DB::connect('some','variables');
you have to use:
$mydb = new DB;
$mydb->connect('some','variables');
Without the exact code, I can only give you examples of about how it 
should look - but that's the gist of it.

cheers,
