var_dump($$date); -> NULL
$$date means "the variable, which names is in $date".
Since there are no such variables as $date_Created, $appointment_Date
etc., the error is correct.
Change $$ to $.

PHP gives unexpected errors when creating an object. I understand that
i'm constructing an object, and some properties aren't there yet for
reading; but I would have expected $this->$$date to work exactly the
same as $this->date_Created...
I would also have thought that declaring the class with a value in the
protected member vars meant that these variables are not empty!
Reproduce code:
---------------
class NexusJob {
protected $date_Created = ''; //dateTime
protected $appointment_Date = ''; //dateTime
protected $valuation_Date = ''; //dateTime
protected $inspection_Date = ''; //dateTime
public function __construct() {
$dates = array('date_Created', 'appointment_Date',
'valuation_Date', 'inspection_Date');
foreach ($dates as $date) {
$this->$$date = date(DATE_W3C);
}
}
}
$nj = new NexusJob();
Expected result:
----------------
No errors
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property
