[SOLVED] Class problem

[Yesideez]

This is the error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/zeb/public_html/calendar/calendar2.php on line 4

 

This is the first 10 lines of code:

<?php
class bigCalendar {

  public $currentDay            = 0;
  public $currentMonth          = 0;
  public $currentYear           = 0;
  public $previousMonth         = null;
  public $currentMonth          = null;
  public $nextMonth             = null;
  public $arrDays               = array('Mon'=>1,'Tue'=>2,'Wed'=>3,'Thu'=>4,'Fri'=>5,'Sat'=>6,'Sun'=>7);

 

Any ideas?

You repeated current month twice.

 

PS. Your attributes need to be set to private

To set a variable to a default value, this needs to be done in the constructor. You cannot do it like you are doing.

 

<?php
class bigCalendar {

  public $currentDay, $currentMonth, $currentYear; // etc..

  public function __construct() { 
         $this->currentDay = 0;
         $this->currentMonth = 0; // etc..
   }

He doesn't have to. He can start messing around with each variable as he uses them in each method.

Anyway, the error is because you are using php5 syntax on a php4 system.

[Yesideez]

Even this gives the same error message:

class cal {
  public $currentDay=0;
}

[Yesideez]

Tried adding it into the __construct:

<?php
class bigCalendar {

  public $currentDay,$currentMonth;
  
  public function __construct() {
    $this->currentDay           = 0;
    $this->currentMonth         = 0;
  }

 

And still getting this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/zeb/public_html/calendar/calendar2.php on line 4

You are going to get that error as long as you try to use php5 syntax on a php4 system.

[Yesideez]

...and what is the syntax of PHP4?

[premiso]

<?php

class cal {
    var $currentMonth = 0;
    var $currentYear = 0;

    function cal() {
               echo 'constructor';
    }
}

[Yesideez]

Anyone please?

[premiso]

Since you did not see that I posted the correct PHP 4 syntax:

 

OOP PHP4

 

Read up more on it at the PHP Manual.

[Yesideez]

Sorry - don't know how I missed that!

 

I've checked my web hosting and they have versions 4 and 5 so I've submitted a ticket asking if they can enable PHP5 for me.

 

I use PHP5 at work and never thought that could be why mine wasn't working!

 

Thanks

The end of life of php4 was more than one year ago.

[Yesideez]

Funny thing is - I thought I was on PHP5 until now!
