oop help

[Vizzini]

Hi,

Im not very familiar with oop and need to update a page. Here is a tempate to start from.

<?php 	

  session_start();

  include ('class/webPage.php');

final class indexPage extends page
{		
	protected $title = '';
protected $keywords = '';
	protected $description = '';
	protected $perPageStylesheet ='';
	protected $contentLeftCol = '<img src="i/callus.png" alt="call us now" />';

	protected $contentCenterCol = ' 
		<div id="newHomes">
			<div class="top"></div>
				<div class="middle">
					<h1>heading 1</h1>
					<h2>heaing 2</h2>
					<p><strong>Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  </strong></p>
					<p>Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  </p>
					<p>Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  Ut turpuis.  Lorem ipsum dolor amet, consectutuer asdipiscing eli.  </p>
				</div>
			<div class="bottom"></div>			
		</div>
	';

	protected $contentRightCol = '
		<div id="newHomesForSale">
			<div class="top"></div>
				<div class="middle">
					<h2>new homes</h2>
					<p>for sale</p>
				</div>
			<div class="bottom"></div>
		</div>
';
};

$homepage = new indexPage()

?>

This all works perfectly but, I need to display content from mysql. I can collect the information from mysql no problem at all.

$usersNames .= $row['username'];

So how to use this as content, the following fails.

protected $contentCenterCol = $usersNames;

Any help would be great.

The default value used to initialise a member variable must be a constant. For a variable like $usersNames, provide a constructor and/or setter member function to initialise/assign $this->contentCenterCola.

Also, since the class has been declared final, protected members do not make sense. Use private members instead.
