Adding data to MySQL with Fatal Error - Magento

Question

I have magento 1.7.0.2 and now i try to add some data to the database. But i get an error:

Notice: Undefined variable: this in /var/www/vhosts/xxx/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php on line 10 Fatal error: Class 'Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup' not found in /var/www/vhosts/xxx/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php on line 3

Here is the part of the php file which tries to add some data to the database:

<?php
$installer = $this;
$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$installer->startSetup();

/**
 * Adding Different Attributes
 */

// adding attribute group
$setup->addAttributeGroup('catalog_product', 'Default', 'Video', 1000);

$setup->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'videobox', array(
    'group'         => 'Video',
    'input'         => 'textarea',
    'type'          => 'text',
    'label'         => 'Youtube video url',
    'backend'       => '',
    'visible'       => 1,
    'required'      => 0,
    'user_defined' => 1,
    'searchable' => 0,
    'filterable' => 0,
    'comparable'    => 0,
    'visible_on_front' => 1,
    'visible_in_advanced_search'  => 0,
    'is_html_allowed_on_front' => 0,
    'global'        => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));

How can this be fixed? Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: The files works. I have added a extra piece of code to see if it works:

<?php

require_once('app/Mage.php'); //Path to Magento
umask(0);
Mage::app(); // Change default to whatever store you want to run

echo "it's worked!";

?>

The error has moved a line down now.

Fatal error: Call to a member function startSetup() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/xxx/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php on line 4

yes, it is. Line 3 is $setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup'); — Ronny

Try to use

$setup = Mage::getModel("eav/entity_setup", "core_setup");

instead of calling directly. That should work.

A problem might be class is not found in mage directory just carefully include mage.php will sure solve your issue.

$mageFilename = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/magento/app/Mage.php';

Use this. It worked for me.

DOCUMENT_ROOT is a server variable that represents the base directory that your code is located within.

This worked a bit. Now my error has moved to

Fatal error: Call to a member function startSetup() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/xxx/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php on line 4
