Php Problems - Should Be Quick

[timothyarden]

Hi Guys,

I am getting this error,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VAR in D:\Program Files\XAMPP\htdocs\agg\edit_home_content.php on line 31

(Line 31 is the 2nd line of code)

 

For this code (It is inside a class)

public function edit_home_content(){
           var $content_file = fopen('home_content.xml','r');
           var $previous_content = fgetc(content_file);
           var $values = $values;
           var $values .= $previous_content;
           // add the above to the bottom of the new code
           // then write below
           fclose($content_file);

           var $content_file = fopen('home_content.xml','r+');
           fwrite(content_file,$this -> values);
           fclose(content_file);            
       }

 

Any Suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance

Timothy

Sorry about the tab in - it wasnt supposed to look like that. Still readable though.

When you define class properties, you can only assign fixed/constant values as part of the declaration. You cannot assign variables, the result of functions... when you define the class properties.

 

Also, the var keyword is php4 syntax. You should be using public, private, or protected

sorry i dont understand

 

my code goes like this

 

class name {
function name {
 variables and actions here
}
}

LOL, that's a class method.

 

You don't use the var keyword at all when assigning values to variables within class methods.

Okay, thanks - so that should be my problem?

Okay, thanks - so that should be my problem?

 

Try removing the var keywords and you shall find out. Based on your error message and the fact that the rest of the line is correct, then the answer would be yes.
