I'm new to PHP so maybe I am overlooking something here but the following:

class someClass {

    var $id = $_GET['id'];

    function sayHello() {

        echo "Hello";

    }

}

gives the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\xampp\htdocs\files\classes.php on line 13

If instead of $_GET['id'] I set the variable $id to a string, everything is fine though.
