connectcase

If I define a class in PHP, I don't seem to able to use built-in
functions, like:

Class User
{
var $username = strlen("something");
}

The strlen gives a parse error. What will work is:

define("USERSOMETHING",strlen("something"));
Class User
{
var $username = USERSOMETHING;
}

but this is like defining your variables twice, so I want to avoid
this. Any ideas?

Thanks

Do it in the constructor:

Class User
{
var $username;

function User(){
$this->username = strlen("something");
}
}
