undefined class property

[lawrence]

I've got this $user class that has a variable called $userIsSuperRoo t.
When I just set error_reporting to ALL I got an error on the last line
that I'm showing of my code down below. It says this property is
undefined. Why? Just because it tests false? Why should that be an
error? You can see that I've declared it correctly. What does PHP want
here?

$dbWhenLastCall edAPage. It keeps track
// of the most recent time this user called a page - more than 20
minutes and they are logged out.
