Classes Can't Contain Object Members?

Using PHP 4.3.3; I'm trying to write a class that has as a member an
instance of another class. Assume class B is already written and supports
the method "method()".

class A {
var _desc;
var _obj;

function A() {
$this->_desc = "Desc test";
$this->_obj = new B();
$this->_obj->method(); // Works here
}

function helper() {
$this->_obj->method(); // Parse error claiming that I'm calling a
member function on a non-object
return;
}
}

Is this not possible in PHP? Is there another way?

Help appreciated,

Derek

Yeah it is possible @ least i use it this wayi can't see the problem
maybe this will work:
class A {
var _desc;
var _obj;

function A() {
$this->_desc = "Desc test";

$this->_obj->method(); // Works here
}

function new obj()
{
$this->_obj = new B();
}

function helper() {
$this->_obj->method();
}
}

i dunno maybe try a older version of php i my self use 4.3.2 and so
think simular works there

It works fine for me with the reference operator:
$this->_obj = &new B();

No error if you do as I said before.
