Initializing class member variables with expressions (concatenated string) in PHP
<p>I'd like to initialize a class member var using an expression- by concatenating a string... Why is the following not possible...</p>

<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>class aClass {
    const COMPANY_NAME = "A Company";
    var $COPYRIGHT_TEXT = "Copyright © 2011 " . COMPANY_NAME;  // syntax error on this line - why?
    var $COPYRIGHT_TEXT2 = "Copyright © 2011 " . "A Company";   // even a syntax error on this line
}
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks very much for your help.</p>
