In my example the property was not static. To make it clear - it cannot be static for this to work.
The instance of the class assigned to a property will be created when the object is created -most likely it will have to be done before the constructor is called so that the instance of property is available to constructor.

When do you expect this code to be executed? class Foo { static public $foo = new StdClass(); } Sorry if this code contains syntax-errors, but I think you'll still get the point ;) Bye Simon -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
