[SOLVED] I hate to start a thread for this but... unexpected T_VARIABLE

[maexus]

The issue is isolated here:

 

public $folderCache = 'cache/';
public $secondsCache = 86400;
public $urlCache = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
public $fileCache = $this->folderCache.md5($this->urlCache).'.cache';

 

As the error still posts when open up that class file and that's the only thing in there. Even further, the error goes away then I delete:

 

public $urlCache = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
public $fileCache = $this->folderCache.md5($this->urlCache).'.cache';

 

Not either or, both of the deleted will make error go away. I know it's something small but I just can't see it. I even tried rewriting it just to make sure.

Most of what you wrote does not make sense.

 

"As the error still posts when open up that class file"

"Even further, the error goes away then I delete:"

"Not either or, both of the deleted will make error go away."

 

Can you please rewrite these? I'm sorry if English isn't your first language but it doesn't make sense.

 

Are you saying both of those lines give you the error? Post the whole error and the line that the line number refers to please.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe it's possible to declare members of a class as a variable value. It has to be a constant expression. I assume those values are being declared as members of a class, yes?

 

Edit: Yeah, that appears to be the case. Scroll to example 19.3.

[Jessica]

Yeah if you want those to have default values that are variables, you have to do it in the constructor.

Wow, still a little tired. Basically when I remove those two lines (and only those two lines. Not either/or but both), the error does not display. The code and error? ok

 

<?php
class cache{
public $folderCache = 'cache/';
public $secondsCache = 86400;
public $urlCache = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
public $fileCache = $this->folderCache.md5($this->urlCache).'.cache';

public function start(){
	$file_cache_exists = (@file_exists($this->fileCache)) ? @filemtime($this->fileCache) : 0;
	if ($file_cache_exists > time() - $this->secondsCache){
		@readfile($this->fileCache);
		exit();
	}
	ob_start();
}
public function finish(){
	$pointer = @fopen($this->fileCache, 'w');
	@fwrite($pointer, ob_get_contents());
	@fclose($pointer);
	ob_end_flush();
}
}
?>

Ok, thanks
