use external function while set variables in class

I'm trying to set some default values in my class but can't use gettext as an variable value

Why does this code give me an error?

class Test
{
    private $defaultoptions = array('HideOwnPosts' => false,
                                    'HideClickedLinks' => false,
                                    'AutoCommentLinks' => false,
                                    'AutoCommentText' => gettext('exampletext'),
                                    'AutoOpenCount' => 5);
}

Solution

  • You cannot initiate a class member with a 'dynamic' result (gettext()). Only static values are allowed. If you need to use the result of a function to initialize a member, then you'll have to do it in the constructor, not the class definition.
