Here is some assignations considered "dynamic" and thus invalid: public $var = 1+2; public $var = $anothervar; public $var = <<<EOD blabla EOD; public $var = 'foo'.'bar'; public $var = myFunction(); This should indeed be properly documented, I'll provide a patch ASAP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-22 19:05:55] tony2001@php.net Reclassified as docu problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-21 23:18:49] cuervo_4762 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ I cannot seem to initialize a multi-line assoc array in the declaration part of a class.
