Fatal Error: Class 'SELF' not found

Question

I have the following relevant code:

try {
    self::$db = new PDO($dsn, self::USER, SELF::PASS); //Connect to the database, and store the pdo object.
    self::$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
    throw new Exception("There have been an error in the connection: ". $e->getMessage());
}

When executing the static function this code is in, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Class 'SELF' not found in P:ath/to/script.php on line 107

I have no idea what might cause this, can anyone please enlighten me?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use self::PASS instead of SELF::PASS

Answer 2

First line self and SELF isn't the same thing...

self::$db = new PDO($dsn, self::USER, self::PASS);
