Question

I have code in cake php that looks like:

public $ceff_instance = array();

public function __construct() {

    $this->ceff_instance = $this->wsMethod_GO();
}

protected $filedMethodMappings = $this->$ceff_instance;

Where $wsMethod_GO returns an array. However, it says that there is an unexpected T_FUNCTION on the line where I try to put the $ceff_instance array into $filedMethodMappings. What is the reason for this?

I can’t figure it out for the life of me.

Answer 1

protected $filedMethodMappings = $this->$ceff_instance;

You can’t set use $this outside of methods.

public $ceff_instance = array();
protected $filedMethodMappings = NULL;

public function __construct() {
    $this->ceff_instance = $this->wsMethod_GO();
    $this->filedMethodMappings = $this->$ceff_instance;
}
