Note Submitter: karst at onlinq dot nl ---- 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.
