The following code snip is giving me an error in PHP5:

<?php
class myClass
 {

public $myVar= $self->myFunction(); //Error here
        function myFunction()
         {
                 return 'Hello World';
         }
 }
$data = new myClass;
echo $data->myVar;
?>


The error is "Unexpected T_VARIABLE".
What am I doing wrong, and is there anything else I should be aware of?

You can't assign a value to a class variable using methods or funstions.
YOu have to move this to __construct() method


<?php
class myClass
 {

public $myVar //Error here

        public function __construct()
        {
        $this->myVar = $this->myFunction();
        }

        function myFunction()
         {
                 return 'Hello World';
         }
 }
$data = new myClass;
echo $data->myVar;
?>
