[RESOLVED] Class constructor being ignored

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

Code:

---

        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.
