note 116160 added to language.variables.basics

From the "Properties" page, about initialising properties: "This declaration may include an initialization, but this initialization must be a constant value--that is, it must be able to be evaluated at compile time and must not depend on run-time information in order to be evaluated. " So if you define a variable in a class (as a member variable/property), things like public <?php $test = 2+3; ?> are invalid, because logic has to be performed on the right hand side. It HAS to be either a constant, or a scalar value (int/string/bool/float). Not even another variable which is a constant (so <?php public $test = "test"; public $invalid = $test; ?> would not work. Just thought this should be mentioned here for all those like me who get here before getting to the "Properties" page. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 88.159.23.235 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116160 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116160/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116160/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116160/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116160/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116160/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116160/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116160 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116160 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
