This is fixed in Beta 2. Andi At 12:02 PM 8/10/99 +0200, Huba Gaspar wrote:

Hi! Is it intentional that the redefinition of preinitialized class variables is not work in php4 beta 1? class Father { var $name = "Peter"; } class Child extends Father { var $name = "Pal"; } That way of redefinition worked in php-3, but in php4 beta 1 $name can only be changed in a class method. I didn't found any reference to this new feature in the incompatibility list. Since I used it heavily in my code it makes me a lot of trouble (work) to port my old php3 code to php4. I understood that expressions can't be used in class member intialization any more but I think that what I mentioned is another incompatibility. I suggest including this change in the inclompatibility list if it's intentional or fixing it if it's a bug. Thanks Huba -- PHP 4 Beta
