I have this code:
private static $dates = array(
'start' => mktime( 0, 0, 0, 7, 30, 2009), // Start date
'end' => mktime( 0, 0, 0, 8, 2, 2009), // End date
'close' => mktime(23, 59, 59, 7, 20, 2009), // Date when registration closes
'early' => mktime( 0, 0, 0, 3, 19, 2009), // Date when early bird discount ends
);
Which gives me the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ')' in /home/user/Sites/site/registration/inc/registration.class.inc on line 19
So, I guess I am doing something wrong... but how can I do this if not like that? If I change the mktime stuff with regular strings, it works. So I know that I can do it sort of like that..
Anyone have some pointers?
PHP can't parse non-trivial expressions in initializers.
I prefer to work around this by adding code right after definition of the class:
class Foo {
static $bar;
}
Foo::$bar = array(…);
or
class Foo {
private static $bar;
static function init()
{
self::$bar = array(…);
}
}
Foo::init();
PHP 5.6 can handle some expressions now.
/* For Abstract classes */
abstract class Foo{
private static function bar(){
static $bar = null;
if ($bar == null)
bar = array(...);
return $bar;
}
/* use where necessary */
self::bar();
}
