check it out:

<?php
//begin the script for date and time
class datebones {
//day
var $dayfull = date('l');
//month
var $monthfull = date('F');
var $monthnumber = date('m');
//date
var $datenozero = date('j');
var $datewithzero = date('d');
//year
var $yearfull = date('Y');
var $yearshort = date('y');	
}

$datebones = &new datebones;
echo $datebones->dayfull;


?>

 

it is giving me the followin error:

or: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\mystuff\eYaMod\dateandtime.php on line 5

 

any ideas? ???

What version of PHP are you using, if you are using 4, that will not work. Something like this would though

 

<?php
//begin the script for date and time
class datebones {
//day
var $dayfull = '';
//month
var $monthfull = '';
var $monthnumber = '';
//date
var $datenozero = '';
var $datewithzero = '';
//year
var $yearfull = '';
var $yearshort = '';

             function datebones() {
                 $this->dayfull = date('l');
                 $this->monthfull = date('F');
                 $this->monthnumber = date('m');
                 $this->datenozero = date('j');
                 $this->datewithzero = date('d');
                 $this->yearfull = date('Y');
                 $this->yearshort = date('y');
             }
}

$datebones = new datebones(); // why use the reference here?
echo $datebones->dayfull;

?>

 

Reason being PHP 4 does not pay attention to the definition of vars outside of function other than acknowleding that they are there. If you are using PHP5, wel I am sure it has something to do with the date function being there.

That no worky on php5 either.

 

The thing is that when initializing properties only values are allowed, not expressions. Simple as that.
