[PHP] variable declaration in class

[Jens Lehmann]

Can anyone explain me why the following code causes
the parse error ... unexpected * ...  ?

class test
{
var $a = 2*10;
}

Of course I know why there's a parse error, but I don't
know the reason why PHP doesn't allow this multiplication,
although it allows a statement like e.g. var $a = 20.
I'd be thankful if anyone could enlighten me. I'm using
PHP 4.2. on Win2k.

Jens

Because, that's why. :)
