According to the documentation, there is no way to have a class variable, only class functions. There should be class variables, because there's no way to implement CONSTANTS. Something like this won't work: <? class Employee { var $ACTIVE_EMPLOYEE = 1; //etc.. } echo Employee::ACTIVE_EMPLOYEE; //Also tryed: echo Employee::$ACTIVE_EMPLOYEE ?> returns: Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting '(' in /home/x/public_html/Test.php on line 9 It forces you to create an instance of the class: $emp = new Employee(); echo $emp->ACTIVE_EMPLOYEE; -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/keyword.paamayim-nekudotayim.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24181 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24181 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24181
