Description:
------------
reproduced with PHP 5.1.2 (sorry, no time to test with 5.1.4).

Impossible to concatenate strings in a class member declaration, it generates a PHP "Parse error".

Very annoying when, for example, one want to create a member string which is a concatenation of a text and a constant


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class MyClass {
	public $myString = 'test1'.'test2';
}

$myClass = new MyClass();
echo "Result is: ".$myClass->myString;

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Result is: test1test2

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '.', expecting ')' in /home/wiart/genomequest/apache/web/GQ/lib/comparisonNew/HTMLlaunchform.php on line 5

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Actually, operations are not permitted while declaring properties or class 
constants, and that is quite annoying.
For example:
public $two = 1 + 1;
or
const two = 1 + 1;
or
public static $two = 1 + 1;
won't compile.
