Undefined Class Constant using PHP version 5 - Help

[Phil Powell]

[PHP]
class NicknameVerifie r {

function NicknameVerifie r() {}

function isValid() {
if ($fileID) {
$content = fread($fileID, HTMLRetriever:: MAX_URL_SIZE);
fclose($fileID) ;
if ($content) $this->setErrorArray( array('nickname ' =>
$content)); // DUP NICKNAME FOUND
return false;
}
}
}

}
[/PHP]

Also consider:

[PHP]

class HTMLRetriever {

var $MAX_URL_SIZE = 100000;

}
[/PHP]

Upon the line:
[PHP]$content = fread($fileID, HTMLRetriever:: MAX_URL_SIZE);[/PHP]

I get the following error:

Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MAX_URL_SIZE' in
/wwwroot/mycgiserver.com/members/includes/chat_classes.ph p on line 230

I am using PHP version 5 at www.myjavaserver.com and I am completely
at a loss as to what is going on. Both classes reside in
chat_classes.ph p equally. Why am I getting an "undefined class
constant" error, it's right there?!

Thanx
Phil

var $MAX_URL_SIZE =100000; => a variable
const MAX_URL_SIZE = 100000; => a constant

and their use is different!

variables belong to instances of classes
constants belong to the class itself



$x = new HTMLRetriever() ;

echo $x->MAX_URL_SIZE ; // instance variable
echo HTMLRetriever:: MAX_URL_SIZE; // class constant
