Problems with PHP Classes

[Auriga]

Hey!

I'd like to use a special php class that will make it easier to send mail. I've downloaded the class from

http://www.phpguru.org/static/mime.mail.html

However, it seems that i cannot use it in my project for some reason. I get an error on line 30:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/mimePart.php');

class htmlMimeMail5
{
    /**
    * The html part of the message
    * @var string
    */
    private $html;  <--- here the error will come


It appears that the compiler has some trouble with the private directive?

My question: do i need to have something installed to use this kind of class (something like PHP Pear or so)? Or is there another problem with it?

Thank you!
