Fix function create() on null?

Question

CakePHP

Getting started with CakePHP
When executing a line, <?php echo $form->create('Task');?>
it gives an error
Call to a member function create() on null
Error: An Internal Error Has Occurred
Can you tell me how to fix it?

Answer 1

Check if the $form object is initialized (it is not initialized for you).
Head-on solution:

<?php echo ($form ? $form->create('Task') : ''); ?>

But it’s more correct, of course, to figure out in which place above in the code the problem with creating an object.

Answer 2

What version of CakePHP are you running?
