Getting a parse error (OOP) PHP

[timtamboy63]

Hey guys,

I decided I'd try to learn OOP PHP, and i've made a basic class to help me out when im dealing with database but I'm getting a wierd parse error.

Here's the relevant code:

class Database {
    protected $dbuser = 'Username';
    protected $dbpass = 'Password';
    protected $dbhost = 'localhost';
    protected $dbname;
    public $connection;
    public $queryresult;
    public $query;
    public $numrows;
    
    function Database($dbname){
        //the constructor function
        this->dbname = $dbname;
    }

the line thats giving me a parse error is:

this->dbname = $dbname;

(and no thats not the whole class)

edit: WORKED IT OUT.REPORTED FOR CLOSING :P

$this->dbname = $dbname;

I think "this" needs to be "$this"
