    Getting so frustrated at learning this. But basically I had an error parsing HTML content to my server, the content cancelled out my query with an ‘ and it’s been a long time since I did PHP and MySQL, but IIRC I used to just use htmlentities to fix that but that didn’t work so someone told me I should use parsed statements. Now that’s where I’m at, but it’s giving out an error:

    Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /customers/9/7/5/underbakke.net/httpd.www/bok-it/page-update.php on line 10

    So here’s the code (Line 10 is the first line here):

    $stmt = $this->mysqli->prepare("UPDATE bokit_custom SET content=?,
    page=?,
    name=? WHERE page=?");
    /* BK: always check whether the prepare() succeeded */
    if ($stmt === false) {
      trigger_error($this->mysqli->error, E_USER_ERROR);
    }
    $id = 1;
    /* Bind our params */
    /* BK: variables must be bound in the same order as the params in your SQL.
     * Some people prefer PDO because it supports named parameter. */
    $stmt->bind_param('si', $content, $page, $name, $page);
    
    /* Set our params */
    /* BK: No need to use escaping when using parameters, in fact, you must not, 
     * because you'll get literal '\' characters in your content. */
    $content = $_POST['content'] ?: '';
    $page = $_POST['content'] ?: '';
    $name = $_POST['content'] ?: '';
    
    /* Execute the prepared Statement */
    $status = $stmt->execute();
    /* BK: always check whether the execute() succeeded */
    if ($status === false) {
      trigger_error($stmt->error, E_USER_ERROR);
    }
    printf("%d Row inserted.\n", $stmt->affected_rows);

    $stmt = $this->mysqli->prepare("UPDATE

    $this is a special variable in PHP which can only be used inside a class to refer to the current object instance. “Using $this when not in object context” means there was no object for $this to reference.

    Is this code inside a class definition?

    the content cancelled out my query with an ‘

    I am not at all clear what you mean by that.
