Question

In my PHP file I have created a class as below but I am getting error on line 3rd and 5th line.

class CommonPath{
    var $baseurl = 'http://mysite.com/';
    var $docroot = realpath(dirname(__FILE__));
    var $root = '/';
    var $images = $this->root.'/img';           
}

My Dreamwaver CS5 showing these lines (3rd & 5th) as erroneous lines and I am getting following error on executing this code.

Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in D:\wamp\www\site\libs\CommonPath.php on line 3

You can’t assign the values like that right when you’re declaring your member properties. Assign it in the constructor

class CommonPath{
    var $baseurl = 'http://mysite.com/';
    var $docroot = '';
    var $root = '/';
    var $images = '';

    function __construct() {
        $this->docroot  = realpath(dirname(__FILE__));;
        $this->images = $this->root.'/img';
    }
}
