[RESOLVED] Class constructor being ignored

[the182guy]

What am I missing here, the constructor function is being completey ignored... the variables are empty and it doesn't echo the test strings.

	class cart
	{
	
		var $item;
		var $started;
		var $max_qty;
		var $symbol;
		
		function cart()
		{
			$this->started = time();
			$this->max_qty = 0;
			$this->symbol = "£";
			echo "<h1>test</h1>";
			echo "<h1>test</h1>";
			echo "<h1>test</h1>";
		}

Are you using PHP 4 or 5?
In 5 the constructor function should be named __construct() and var should be replaced with private (or public, as desired).

Just found it, __construct works yea it must be 5, I've no idea tbh just using an all in one for development. Cheers i'll use privates aswell.
