//SCRIPT NAME=evalcls.inc

<?php

class evalcls

        $var=1;

}

?>

INVOKED BY THIS SCRIPT

//SCRIPT NAME=hello.php

<?php

       include ("evalcls.inc");

       $oj= new evalcls();

?>

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION in C:\wamp\www\evalcls.inc on line 4

I am using the WAMP 5 tool as my main tool and i am writing the scripts with the crimson editor.

<?php

  class foo

  {

    $something = 1;

    function __construct()

    {}

  }

  $f = new foo();

?>

yielded the same as yours, but this worked:

<?php

  class foo

  {

    public $something = 1;

    function __construct()

    {



    }

  }

  $f = new foo();

?>

Maybe PHP now requires access modifiers for variables?

Class members must be defined with public, private, or protected.

Note: The PHP 4 method of declaring a variable with the var keyword is still supported for compatibility reasons (as a synonym for the public keyword). In PHP 5 before 5.1.3, its usage would generate an E_STRICT warning.

I believe the only change you need to make to your code is as follows:

class evalcls {

        var $foo = 1;

}

Where foo can be whatever name you choose for the variable, but I do believe the var keyword needs to be included rather than $var as you were doing before. Or as Jimbo stated placing the access type of the variable (public/private). So an alternate way might be:

class evalcls {

        public $foo;

        function __construct() {

                $this->foo = 1;

        }

}

Which will give your variable the necessary value upon its construction. I assumed you'd declared it as public 'cause you want to modify it somehow.

Is that code located in your class or where exactly? 'Cause it wouldn't make sense to declare it as public if it's not in a class, which is what might be producing the error.
