[SOLVED] New to OOP need a bit of help.

[unkwntech]

The following code snip is giving me an error in PHP5:

<?php
class myClass
{
public $myVar= $self->myFunction(); //Error here
        function myFunction()
         {
                 return 'Hello World';
         }
}
$data = new myClass;
echo $data->myVar;
?>

 

The error is "Unexpected T_VARIABLE".

What am I doing wrong, and is there anything else I should be aware of?

You can't assign a value to a class variable using methods or funstions.

YOu have to move this to __construct() method

 

<?php
class myClass
{



public $myVar //Error here

        public function __construct()
        {
        $this->myVar = $this->myFunction();
        }

        function myFunction()
         {
                 return 'Hello World';
         }
}
$data = new myClass;
echo $data->myVar;
?>
