Question

class KnivesModel {

private $db;

public function __construct($dsn, $user, $pass){
    try{
        $this->$db = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);
    }catch(PDOException $e){
        var_dump($e);
    };

}; // __construct

}

This code breaks my app. I’m not even instantiating this class yet. All I do is include this class in my index.php and the “app” blows up with 500 error. What’s the problem?

Answer 1

There should be no ; at the end of the try catch and the __construct function.
