In my script I have:

some_class
{
   var $variable = new other_class_name;
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   function ...
}

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error in class_file.php on line 9 (the underlined row)

My script worked fine in PHP3.

Is it erroreous syntax or error in engine?

Thank you.

It's an incompatibility with PHP 3, by design. You cannot have dynamic
initializers for class members.
