Variable in classes

[Fluf]

Question is, why can't i use $config['conf'] variable in class? It gives me following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/class/file.php on line 4

 

It works if i don't put it in class, but i need it in there..

 

<?php

class test {
  
  public $config['conf'] = "server";

  function man() {
    $this->config['conf'] = "localhost";
    return $this->config['conf'];
  }
}
$new = new test();
echo $new->man();
?>

Try this.

 

<?php
class test {
  
  public $config = array();

  public function __construct() {
         $this->config['conf'] = 'server';
  }

  function man() {
    $this->config['conf'] = "localhost";
    return $this->config['conf'];
  }
}
$new = new test();
echo $new->man();
?>

or try this - you get the same outcome as intended in your post and the post above - why are you setting the $config['conf'] to server in the first place?

 

I believe you can't assign a value to a variable while declaring it as a class variable - though i'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. Which is why it's working outside of a class but not inside.

 

<?php
class test {
  
  public  $config;

  function man() {

    $this->config['conf'] = "localhost";
    return $this->config['conf'];
  }
}
$new = new test();
echo $new->man();
