Trouble accessing class member variable

Hello, I am running PHP 4. I have this simple class,

class CTable {
var $m_name;
var $m_primary_key_col_name;
}

then I have a function that takes, as argument, an instance of this
class

function bar($p_table) {
$table_name = $p_table->m_name;

but I get this parse error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/dev/util_fns.php on line 35

I know this is some simple syntax thing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, - Dave

What is on line 35? Please post that line _and_ the lines before, if
possible all lines from the start. In many cases the cause for a parse
error is not found in the line where the interpreter recognizes it and
complains about it, but somewhere before.

Dave,

First the dumb question,

you have actually instantiated the class before passing it to the function ?

$fred = new CTable();
.. . . . .
bar($fred);


Second , what is in line 34 of /usr/local/apache/htdocs/dev/util_fns.php ?
missing semicolons in the row above can cause havoc.
