Variable declarations in classes can't refer to other
variables in that class, only value assigments are
allowed. The following example does not work:

class test
{ var $testvar = "this is a test";
  var $test2 = $this->testvar;
}

Would be nice if such things were possible.

sorry, only constant values may be used 
for initial assignments to member variables in php 4

do it in a constructor instead
