Call to a member function add() on null error

[Pip]

Hi all, 

I'm tweaking the Login/Register module to enable to automatically create a page for the User Profile. 

See code below: 

				if($input->get('register_created')) {
					$this->message($this->_('Thank you, your account is confirmed and you are now logged in'));
										
				
					$page = $pages->add("blank", "/member/", [
					  'title' => '%s',
					  'name' => '%s'
					]);
				}

Upon completing the confirmation, I get this error: 

Notice
: Undefined variable: pages in
D:\XAMPP\htdocs\food\site\modules\LoginRegister\LoginRegister.module
on line

This error message was shown because: site is in debug mode. ($config->debug = true; => /site/config.php). Error has been logged.

I've cleared the cache but I'm still getting the error. ?

Any ideas where I went wrong aside from editing the module?

Thanks

Try calling wire('pages') instead of $pages.

Thanks, @elabx! It works! So it'sactually ok to interchange them. ?
