You can use a contructor in this case
<?php
class Foo {
}
class Bar {
function __construct() {
public $f = 'SomeFoo';
}
}
?>
But this does not work:
<?php
class Foo {
}
class Bar {
function __construct() {
public $f = new Foo();
}
}
?>

Those assignments are evaluated at compile-time when no code can be
executed. As such it is only possible to set them to literal values.
If you need to set the default value of member variables to new
objects the place to do it is the constructor.
