Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in /home2/finebyn/public_html/classes/cart.php on line 28

// Generic re-ordering function that can be re-used
function move_db_item($table_name, $order_column_name, $parent_id_name, $parent_id, $child_id_name, $child_id, $direction) {

// Register globals OFF will print ‘Mark’
echo $_SESSION[‘name’];
?>

I’m going Wordpress Crazy.. I just love the piece of software.
It’s just so simple to learn and customize, with the added benefit of a steady community of bloggers assisting the development and maintenance of future releases.
I created a theme for yellowshoe so I could more quickly make updates to my website, as well as make […]
