OOP Newbie - why does this not work?

Hi all, I'm trying to get started in OOP with PHP. I have the following short code snipped. I'f I comment out the 'class Test' definition and the following references to it, it prints This is outside the php code block

        and

Start defining the class here: If I do not comment out the code as noted, then the page returned is totally blank. It does this with or without using the constructor. PHP 5 on apache. Same behavior both on Win32 and FC4. All help appreciated to get me going. Code Snippet: <html> <head> <title>PHP Class testing</title> </head> <body> <br> <P>This is outside the php code block</P> <br> <?php echo "Start defining the class here: <BR>" ; /* class Test {

	    function __constructor()

{ var $saying ; $saying = "Im in the Test Class" ; } function get() { return $saying ; } var $liveclass ; $liveclass = new Test ; echo $liveclass->get() ; echo "<BR>" ;

     echo "This is in the php code block" ;

*/ ?> </body> </html>
