This question already has an answer here:
I get an error when I use date() when initializing an instance variable
class User extends Connectable {
private $date = date('Y-m-d');
}
The error is
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';'
This is weird, because it works fine when I call date() from inside a function, or outside the class...

The properties declaration may include an initialization, but this initialization must be a constant value, that is, it must be able to be evaluated at compile time and must not depend on run-time information in order to be evaluated.
You could initialize it in the constructor method.
You should do that under a constructor
<?php
class User extends Connectable {
private $date;
function __construct()
{
$this->date = date('Y-m-d');
}
}
Such expressions are not allowed as a field default value. You need to set them in the constructor.
try this you can use a constructor for it which initialize your private variable when the object is created.
class User extends Connectable {
private $date1;
function __construct()
{
$this->date1 = date('Y-m-d');
}
}
