[PHP] Re: must I use var

[Raymond Lilleodegard]

Hi Peter!

The var $somevariable means that the variable is defined. You only need to
use var in classes. So if you only write ordinary scrpits, you dont need to
use it.

 HI,

 I was reading the docs and I see this:

  /* This is how it should be done. */
  class Cart
  {
  var $todays_date;
  var $name;
  var $owner;
  var $items;
 
  function Cart()
  {
  $this-todays_date = date(Y-m-d);
  $this-name = $GLOBALS['firstname'];
  /* etc. . . */
  }

 I don't see the point in doing

 var $todays_date;

 and

 $this-todays_date = date(Y-m-d);

 The latter works without the need for the var. Why should i use
 var?

 Thanks,

 Peter

Raymond,

Thanks. Someone else said it just helped to see what your class 
variables where (but I can see this easily enough).

I don't NEED to use var even in classes. I'm writing a class right 
now without it. But perhaps there is a SHOULD that I am not aware 
of (just helping me see .. well I don't need that).
