Basic mvc and php insert issue - php

Question

I am trying to do a basic insert to my book table, this is the code I have so far alsong with the error I am presented with.
Model (models > adminarea_model.php)
adminarea_model.php
public function create($title_text)
{
$title_text = strip_tags($title_text);
$sql = "INSERT INTO book (title) VALUES (:title)";
$query = $this->db->prepare($sql);
$query->execute(array(':title' => $title_text));
$count = $query->rowCount();
if ($count == 1) {
return true;
} else {
$_SESSION["feedback_negative"][] = FEEDBACK_NOTE_CREATION_FAILED;
}
return false;
}
View (views > admin > addBook.php)
addBook.php
<form method="post" action="<?php echo URL;?>admin/create">
<label>Text of new note: </label><input type="text" name="title" />
<input type="submit" value='Create this note' autocomplete="off" />
</form>
Controller (controllers > admin.php)
admin.php
public function create()
{
if (isset($_POST['title']) AND !empty($_POST['title'])) {
$book_model = $this->loadModel('Admin');
$book_model->create($_POST['title']);
}
header('location: ' . URL . 'admin/addBook');
}
When I am on admin/addBook and I try to submit the form I receive the following error;
Fatal error: Call to a member function create() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\logintest\application\controllers\admin.php on line 43
Line 43 contains the following
$book_model->create($_POST['title']);
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Quite new to php/mvc here so any advice is welcome.

Answer 1

This error is generated when you are trying to call a member function of a class and object is not referencing to that class, you didnot tell which mvc framework you are using but what i think this might be the fix of your error as in most of the frameworks they make object as follow:
$book_model = $this->loadModel('adminarea');
Fix the line in your controller
