OOP and arrays

[lemist]

I'm trying to assign an array to a variable in a class but I end up with a nasty error. Here is my code, and later my error.

class i42
{
$this->sections = array("news", "layout", "users", "photos", "guestbook", "discussion", "config");

//the rest is unimportant
}

and the error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION' orT_FUNCTION' or T_VAR' or'}''

Any ideas?

No replies needed. Turns out that $this->whatever assignments need to be done inside of a function and can't be declared outright. So for class i42, i put that array definition into function i42().

I hope this helps some people if they ever run into that error.
