how to solve Non Static method in php 5.5 yii framework

Question

This is large application working fine online, I am trying to use download all the file and configure it in local machine, I successfully download and configure But I stuck on this point, where error is Non-static method Video::getVideoDetails() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

As over Stackoverflow question, I get some clue to remove E_Strict from error_reporting I used E_ALL. but the error is still there

here is the part of code

foreach($modelvideo as $bannerVideo):
         $videoTitle=Video::getVideoDetails($bannerVideo->id);
         $videoDirector=Video::getDirector($bannerVideo->user_id);
         ?>
             <div class = 'item'> 

I am not the php developer, I really appreciate if you find easily way to solve this issue.

thanks

Answer 1

Just change the lines from these

foreach($modelvideo as $bannerVideo):
         $videoTitle=Video::getVideoDetails($bannerVideo->id);
         $videoDirector=Video::getDirector($bannerVideo->user_id);
         ?>
             <div class = 'item'> 

to

foreach($modelvideo as $bannerVideo):
        $video = new Video();
         $videoTitle=$video->getVideoDetails($bannerVideo->id);
         $videoDirector=$video->getDirector($bannerVideo->user_id);
         ?>
             <div class = 'item'> 

getVideoDetails and getVideoDetails are static functions and depend only $bannerVideo->id and $banner->user_id respectively. Alternatively you can declare them to be static function by changing

public  function getVideoDetails

to

 public static function getVideoDetails

in the model function, However this will affect other places were the functions are called, so unless you know what you are doing don't change the model.

Use the following exact line

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

Make sure you do not have ; before the above statement. which comments the line Also you can turn off the errors from displaying.

display_errors = On

The above tricks will only make the application work but the problem still exists until you correct static calls to non static calls in all over the application.

$videoTitle=Video::getVideoDetails($bannerVideo->id);
$videoDirector=Video::getDirector($bannerVideo->user_id);

to

$video = new Video();
$videoTitle=$video->getVideoDetails($bannerVideo->id);
$videoDirector=$video->getDirector($bannerVideo->user_id);

Or the otherway by making those functions static. But that is somewhat risky. Because there might be having $this-> calls within the function which generates errors.
