php class

[fatnjazzy]

y is this code is incorrect?

class a
static $date=date("d-m-y",time());
   function a()...

and this one is correct

class a
static $date='01-01-2005';
   function a()...

i want to assign in to a static var 10 rows from a txt file
i need to that because i dont want that every time im creating a new object the class wil open again the file to read.
i know that other languages are allow that.
thanks

In PHP class members can only be initialised with static values (as in your second example). You could set the date variable using a method which is called statically (I'm assuming you are using PHP 5):

class A
{
	static $date;

static public function setDate()
{
	A::$date = date( "d-m-y", time() );
}

public function getDate()
{
	return A::$date;
}
}

A::setDate();
$a = new A;
echo $a->getDate();
