<?
include( "db_mysql.inc" );

class DB_Ads extends DB_Sql {
	var $Host = $GLOBALS["CF"]["MYSQL_SERVER"];
	var $User = $GLOBALS["CF"]["MYSQL_USER_NAME"];
	var $Password = $GLOBALS["CF"]["MYSQL_PASSWORD"];
	var $Database = "phpads";

}

?>

the "db_mysql.inc" contains the class "DB_Sql".
This above script doesn't give any problem in php-3.0.9 where as in php-4.0.1pl2 it say's "Parse error: parse error in test.php on line 5" ie It is not accepting the following line
"var $Host = $GLOBALS["CF"]["MYSQL_SERVER"];"

Can any body suggest what could be the problem...

regards.

php 4 does only allow constants for class member initialization,
for everything else you have to use the constructor

this is one of the published incompatibilites
