unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION

Question

I am expecting this to be a basic syntax error I overlooked, but I can\'t figure it out.

In a PHP script, I keep getting the following error.

Parse e

Use access modifier before the member definition:

    private $connection;

As you cannot use function call in member definition in PHP, do it in constructor:

 public function __construct() {
      $this->connection = sqlite_open("[path]/data/users.sqlite", 0666);
 }
