unexpected T_var, expected T_variable error line 14 of the class

[jrough]

The script worked before I tried to add the $pointer var and the changes to the class. The error is on line 14 on the required class which is the public var $validFlag = "" ; line. What I'm trying to do is get the returned htmlmessage out of the $pointer array.

<?php
require_once 'phoogle1.php';
$map->setAPIKey("ABQIAAAA9Bwvj_jq9ffNHGrXz9VO7xQALgqu6nN6nANsf-df7YvO8yp53xT4EfomqwVsDae1dfRiXRIGSNS1cQ");

$addr = $_POST['q'];

$addrArray= unserialize($addr);

foreach($addrArray as $key => $value){

$map->addAddress($value);
 $pointer = $map->addAddress($value);
 if($map->validFlag=1){
    $html = $map->validPoints[$pointer]['htmlMessage'];
 }else {
     $html = $map->invalidPoints[$pointer]['htmlMessage'];
 }

$map->printGoogleJS();
}
?>

For the class all I did was add the "public" on the vars $invalidPoints & $validPoints and add the var $validFlag = ""; And then in the addAddress class I added the $this->validFlag = 1 and $this->validFlag = 0, lines.

---------class-----

class PhoogleMap{
	public var  $validFlag = "";



public	    var $validPoints = array();

public	    var $invalidPoints = array();


function addAddress($address,$htmlMessage=null){
 if (!is_string($address)){
    die("All Addresses must be passed as a string");
  }

//$apiURL = "http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=YahooDemo&location=";
$apiURL = "http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=DoO9dXzV34FMVcI3aXjfoWLtUj_UBTBW4ltfKXiEDnXMnbm2DJ__79_Aw.n3EA--&location=";

 $addressData = file_get_contents($apiURL.urlencode($address));


  $results = $this->xml2array($addressData);

    if (empty($results['ResultSet']['Result']['Address'])){
        $pointer = count($this->invalidPoints);
        $this->invalidPoints[$pointer]['lat']= $results['ResultSet']['Result']['Latitude'];
        $this->invalidPoints[$pointer]['long']= $results['ResultSet']['Result']['Longitude'];
        $this->invalidPoints[$pointer]['passedAddress'] = $address;
        $this->invalidPoints[$pointer]['htmlMessage'] = $htmlMessage;
        $this->$validFlag=1;
      }else{
        $pointer = count($this->validPoints);
        $this->validPoints[$pointer]['lat']= $results['ResultSet']['Result']['Latitude'];
        $this->validPoints[$pointer]['long']= $results['ResultSet']['Result']['Longitude'];
        $this->validPoints[$pointer]['passedAddress'] = $address;
        $this->validPoints[$pointer]['htmlMessage'] = $htmlMessage;
        $this->$validFlag=0;
    }

return $pointer;
}

}

I can't figure it out, thanks,

its just public, not public var

php 4 just had var
