php 4.3.2 won't let me use function args in class member functions

sneakyimp

i am defining a class called Tree

class Tree {
var $blah;

function Tree() {
}

function Save() {
}

function Delete() {
}

function Foo(strArg) {
}

}

that function Foo causes an error!

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/myproject/public/classes/tree.php on line 15

i'm not sure why because i have plenty of other projects that allow member functions of a class to accept arguments...what could be the problem? might i have some error somewhere else? or is there some init perhaps in my other projects that i've forgotten?

this is totally bafffling me.

on another note, can anyone recommend a good PHP development environment for windows?

A parse error means there's a typo in your code at some point; since you don't say which is line 15, and since I can only assume that the code you've posted is exactly the code you're having trouble with, I can only assume it's because $strArg is missing its $.

Zend has one developed specifically for PHP. Further discussion will be found by reading the Echo Lounge FAQ.

oooo...do i feel small. thanks SO MUCH for your right on the money and very effective reply.

that's what i get for switching to ASP for a day to work on another project. PHP is so much cooler.

will check out ZEND. thanks!

Oh, I should've guessed! Now I remember where I've seen variable names like that before 😃
