What is the significance of the error message "Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object" in PHP?

The error message "Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object" in PHP indicates that you are trying to call the `execute()` method on a variable that is not an object, typically a variable that was not properly initialized or set to an object. To solve this issue, you need to ensure that the variable you are trying to call `execute()` on is a valid object, usually by checking if the object was successfully created before calling its methods. 

// Example code snippet to fix the "Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object" issue
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM table_name");
if ($stmt) {
    $stmt->execute();
    // Rest of the code to fetch results or perform other operations
} else {
    // Handle the case where the statement object was not created successfully
    echo "Error: Statement object creation failed.";
}
