Assigning a function's result to a variable within a PHP class? OOP Weirdness

Question

I know you can assign a function\'s return value to a variable and use it, like this:

function standardModel()
{
    return \"Higgs Boson\";   
}

$nextBigTh         


        

Answer 1

class standardModel
{
// Public instead of private
public function nextBigThing()
{
    return "Higgs Boson";   
}
}

$standardModel = new standardModel(); // corection

echo $standardModel->nextBigThing();
