Hi:

I created a class and then declared a private variable called today and set it = to today's date:

class someclass
{
private $today = date("Y-m-d");
}

For some reason, it doesn't like it. There is an error message about the parenthesis. Am I not allowed to set a variable = to some function like date or whatever? It didn't complain when I set it = to some string constant like "2011-10-10".
