variables within a class

[OwenTheSamoan]

I'm trying to set two variables within a class for VAR $BASE_IMAGE_DIRECTORY. If I write the actual path without variables it works perfectly. Only problem is that the destination folder is always changing and I need to set the new path with variables. No matter what I try, I cannot set the variables for the path without errors or if there are no errors, I get the name of the variable $variable but not the value for some reason. Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks,

class Image {

var $SUCCESS = 0;
var $UNKNOWN_ERROR = 1;
var $FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERROR = 2;

var $BASE_IMAGE_DIRECTORY = "./folderA/$something/$somethingelse";

}

It could be done via the constructor:

class Image {
   var $SUCCESS = 0;
   var $UNKNOWN_ERROR = 1;
   var $FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERROR = 2;
   var $BASE_IMAGE_DIRECTORY;
   // constructor:
   function Image($dir, $subDir)
   {
      $this->BASE_IMAGE_DIRECTORY = "./folderA/$dir/$subDir";
   }
}
// usage:
$foo = "something";
$bar = "somethingelse";
$img = new Image($foo, $bar);

Which is why I used the class name as the constructor method's name instead of "__construct()". 😉
