array as class property question

Hi,

I am using PHP 4 with classes but I have come across a slight problem...
I can't declare an array as a property of a class, ie,

class clTest
{
var $a[];

clTest()
{
// ...some stuff here...
}

DoAdd($name, $content)
{
$this->a[] = array("name" => $id, "content" => $content);
}
}

This produces the error,
Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in
/srv/www/htdocs/test/table.php on line 10

line 10 is the "var $a[]".

Am I missing something out or doesn't PHP4 allow arrays as properties?

Julian

$a = array();

Yes PHP does allow that. :-)
Allthough most say 'hashed array' or something like that instead of
properties. (Do you come from Macromedia lingo? ;-) )

var $a[]='foo';

or

var a$;

or

var $a=array('foo');

or

var $a=array();

Thanks, it now works.

No, I'm from a C/C++ background but thought I'd give PHP a go. The
"properties" is the term used in my PHP reference book.
