Re: OOP variables

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php states: [quote] In PHP 4, only constant initializers for var variables are allowed. To initialize variables with non-constant values, you need an initialization function which is called automatically when an object is being constructed from the class. Such a function is called a constructor (see below). [/quote] Richard PS: Isn't it cool when every explanation is already written down in a manual?
