Answer 1

Change:

$name = "Note";

To:

var $name = "Note";

or:

public $name = "Note";

CakePHP recommends using var to keep code compatible with PHP4. However, this is completely unnecessary and it’s better to use public.

That being said, the code you posted should not give an unexpected T_STRING error but, rather, an unexpected T_VARIABLE error. So there may be something else going on as well.
