I had a quick question.  How come I can do this:

class Bar {
 public $f = 'SomeFoo';

But this does not work:
<?php
class Foo {
}
class Bar {
 public $f = new Foo();
}
?>

Those assignments are evaluated at compile-time when no code can be  
executed. As such it is only possible to set them to literal values.

If you need to set the default value of member variables to new  
objects the place to do it is the constructor.
