<?php class Box {     var $contents;      function Box($contents) {         $this-&gt;contents = $contents;     }      function get_whats_inside() {         return $this-&gt;contents;     } } ?> 

I am going through a OO tutorial. I am familiar with PHP and the concept of OO but it is still an uphill struggle most of the time! However, the code above returns the error ‘Unexpected & on line 7’. I cannot find anyone else having had problems with the tutorial. I am running MAMP with php version 5.2.5. Anyone have any ideas?

    It should read $this->contents instead of $this-&gt;contents
