How can I create an object inside a class?

Question

How can I do this, as the most obvious way doesn't work:

<?php class Inner { public $var; } class Outer { $test = new Inner; } ?>

Yields:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION in /f5/debate/public/test.php on line 10

In PHP you can't instantiate a class as a default value of a property. You need to do it in a function (in this case, probably likely the constructor). eg.

class Inner { public $var; } class Outer { public $test; public function __construct() { $this->test = new Inner(); } }
