 Summary:          Fatal Error w/ Mail_mimedecode 1.5.5 and php 5.2.17
 Status:           Feedback
 Type:             Documentation Problem
 Package:          Mail_mimeDecode
 Operating System: CentOS 5.6
 Package Version:  1.5.5
 PHP Version:      5.2.12
 New Comment:

Same problem here with PHP 5.3.3 on CentOS 5.6.

The documentation only mentions and shows examples of calling getXML
statically.

$decoder->getXML(); doesn't work, however
$decoder->getXML($decodeoutput); does work!

</div>Alex, if you think about it; you already have an instantiated
$decoder variable 
containing a Mail_mimeDecode object - why would you need to call a
static method?

I'll agree that perhaps there is a doc bug or it might need more
examples - where did 
you expect to find usage examples &  didn't?.

Description:
------------
Calling the getXML () method statically, the only way I can find
documentation to call it, throws a fatal error.

php 5.2.17



Test script:
---------------
$params['include_bodies'] = true;
$params['decode_bodies'] = true;
$params['decode_headers'] = true;

$decoder = new Mail_mimeDecode (file_get_contents ($filename));
$structure = $decoder->decode ($params);
$xml    = Mail_mimeDecode::getXML($structure);

Expected result:
----------------
To get an xml document

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in
/usr/local/php5/lib/php/Mail/mimeDecode.php on line 486
