Hi! > Why can't we create a new object and assign it to property like this?
Because the engine doesn't run code when parsing class definitions so defaults should be constants (otherwise would also create a lot of trouble for bytecode caching as object are not cacheable). Use ctor for complex initializations. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
