Can anyone explain me why the following code causes the parse error "... unexpected * ... " ? class test { var $a = 2*10; } Of course I know why there's a parse error, but I don't know the reason why PHP doesn't allow this multiplication, although it allows a statement like e.g. var $a = 20. I'd be thankful if anyone could enlighten me. I'm using PHP 4.2. on Win2k. Jens
