From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Win NT 4 Server PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Object property association broken
The following example doesn't work, but is listed in the documentation as being valid: <?php class DateTime { function DateTime() { // empty constructor } function now() { return date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); } } class Report { var $_dt = new DateTime(); // more properties ... function Report() { // initialization code ... } function generateReport() { $dateTime = $_dt->now(); // more code ... } // more methods ... } $rep = new Report(); ?> This returns the error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_NEW in test.php on line 14 I have tried this with other classes and basically it seems that you cannot default a class property to an instatiated class unless through the constructor. This is contrary to the documentation. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20531&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20531&r=isapi
