Is accessing functions while setting class properties possible in PHP (5.2 or 5.3) ?
class DAOClass {
var $someProperty = SomeObject::staticMethod('readConfigProperty');
}

It is not possible because you have to initialize the properties with constant values. It isn't even possible to do this:
var $property = array(0);
The way to do what you want to do is inside the class constructor:
class DAOClass {
var $someProperty;
public function __construct() {
$this->someProperty = SomeObject::staticMethod('readConfigProperty');
}
}
As a side note, using var
to declare properties is not the preferred way. Use private
, protected
or public
instead to declare a property along with its visibility (var
defaults to public
).
No. In the class declaration you define properties. You do not assign them anything. Everything after the =
must be a literal constant. Method/function calls are expressions and cannot be used there.
