Are you sure the "PDO" is a database object? The error kind of says it isn't.

yes 100% sure all my other code works but this

You'd only get that error if PDO hasn't been initialised or is set to a non-object type.

Run this code and paste the output here:

var_dump($this->PDO);

Personally I'd put the prepare statement next to where you initialize the PDO connection, so it isn't created/destroyed every time the function is run, and it'd also negate any scoping issues, etc.

dont worry got it sorted I was calling a new bject within the class where an object had originally been created in order to call the new object :p ... just had to put in "$this->"
