How can I call a class from a class

[HGeneAnthony]

I created a class (Users) which I would like to call an instance from in another class. However, I'm getting the error:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in C:\www\PHPTestProject\index.php on line 13

Here's the conflicting code:

[code]
    class Test {
        private $user = new User("geneanthony", "hea9671");
            
    }
[/code]

How can I call another class from a class. This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't in a class.

You can't use new when you're just declaring class variables. Put it in the constructor instead (PHP5 code):

[code]class Test {
   private $user;
   function __construct() {
      $this->user = new User("geneanthony", "hea9671");
   }
}[/code]

It works fine for me like this..
[code]
class fooooooo {
    public function bar($s1) {
        $foo = new bar($RAWR);
        $foo->method();
    }
}[/code]

To each their own [=

Keeb, yours isnt the same. In the other two examples, the variable is a member of the class. Your $foo is local to bar().

That is correct.. I was offering my alternative way to offer the same solution.. I cannot see the benefit, other than object sharing during method execution.. from making it a member of the class.

Thank you for the help! It worked! Eclipse has a real nice PHP IDE that tells you of any errors as you save it. It offers a lot of cool features and I would recommend checking it out.
