Re: [PROPOSAL] Payment_Process

In order for the constructor to fire you need to add parenthesis to your assignment: class foo { var $bar; function foo() { echo "Initializing variables ..."; $bar = 'I was here'; } } $class = & new foo(); // <-- notice ()'s echo $class->bar; I thought the declaration was deprecated as well, but I see it in PEAR all the time and I use it without incident in my own code. --Joe > On Saturday 13 December 2003 06:50 pm, Joe Stump wrote: >> Quick note ... >> >> You should just put the following declaration into the variable >> declaration at the top of the class: >> > Yeah...
