What's wrong with this line???

[enridp]

Hi ! my name is Enrique, I'm new in the forum, and I'm writing because I can't uderstand what is wrong with this line:

 

protected $something = array('some' => self::$thing);

 

These doesn't work too:

 

protected $something = array('some' => $this->thing);
protected $something = array('some' => $thing);

 

But this yes:

 

protected $something = array('some' => 'thing');

 

Also, if I use something like this:

protected $something = array();
public function somefunction()
{
    $this->something = array('user' => self::$thing);
}

 

it works fine.

 

Is not possible to use vars when initiating an array in the members declarations?????

I can't understand where is the problem...

 

Thanks !!

You cannot define a property with another variable in a property declaration.  If you want it to "auto" assign something on load-up like that, assign it in the __construct()

That was really fast.

Thanks Crayon Violent !
