Have you got the correct host, username and password?

[Alarion]

what the heck is $this->Open() ??

is it a function inside an object YOU defined?

$this is usually only used within a class implementation so that it can call it's own functions and access its own variables.

we need a little more info on what you are doing.

it does look like you have a space between the Open and the () though. dunno if that affects it...

Youcan only reference a class with $this-> when you're calling it from within that class. You don't appear to be doing that so you need to reference it by whatever you initalised it as in your script.
