This error is saying that an expression can't be used in class properties:

Works

class Foo { public $metad_name = ''; function __construct() { $this->metad_name = 'lol' . 'lol'; } }

Parse error

class Bar { public $metad_name = 'lol' . 'lol'; }

If your code isn't a class property - just delete the public
