Fair enough, the docs at the url you supplied then contradict the docs
at this url:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.objaggregation.php

You will find that the example I supplied came direct from your online
manual.

I know it says its experimental, but I thought we were supposed to
report these types of inconsistencies and errors so that the
experimental extensions can move to stable versions.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Read the note under the caution block:

The following example doesn't work, but is listed in the documentation
as being valid:

<?php
class DateTime {
  
  function DateTime() {
      // empty constructor
  }

  function now() {
      return date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
  }
}

class Report {
  var $_dt = new DateTime();
  // more properties ...

  function Report() {
      // initialization code ...
  }

  function generateReport() {
      $dateTime = $_dt->now();
      // more code ...
  }

  // more methods ...
}

$rep = new Report(); 
?>

This returns the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_NEW in test.php on line 14


I have tried this with other classes and basically it seems that you
cannot default a class property to an instatiated class unless through
the constructor.  This is contrary to the documentation.
