This bug was fixed with revision 1.10 of objaggregation/reference.xml on 12/11/2003. Status -> Closed Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-21 07:37:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] this is a docuprob, as the aggregate page has an example that's illegal in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-21 16:17:26] tim dot lokot at printsoft dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-21 00:39:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php#keyword.class ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-20 21:50:04] tim dot lokot at printsoft dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20531&edit=1
