[PHP-WIN] Equivalent ways to populate an array.

[Paul Meagher]

I can successfully populate the params array in this way:

class MyDB extends DB {

   var $params = array( 'phptype' => "mysql",
                                    'hostspec' => "localhost",
                                    'database' => "testdb",
                                    'username' => "root",
                                    'password' => "" );

}

Then I try to do it this way:

class MyDB extends DB {

   var $params = array();

  $this->params['phptype']   =  "mysql";
  $this->params['hostspec']  =  "localhost";
  $this->params['database']  =  "testdb";
  $this->params['username']  =  "root";
  $this->params['password']  =  "";

}

I get this error for the second way:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION' or `T_FUNCTION' or
`T_VAR' or `'}'' in c:/apache/htdocs/004.php on line 15

Line 15 is this line:   $this->params['phptype']   =  "mysql";

I also tried populating the array by dropping  $this-> and just having
$params['phptype'] = "mysql"; but I still get the same error.

Anybody know why I am getting this error?

Regards,
Paul
