Variable Issues..........[Help]

[eluser]Kanra[/eluser]
Hi, everyone

I haven't played with php for a longtime and now having a little issue hope anyone can help.

Here is part of my code, how can I create $currentYear and $birthdayData so that both my index() & reg_Result() functions can use them?

It keeps saying

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION

Code:

<?php
class Reg extends Controller
{
        //problem code
        $currentYear = date("Y");
        $birthdayData = array("year"=>$currentYear, "i"=>0, "firstThru"=>TRUE);
        //problem code

    function Reg()
    {    
        //Constructor
        parent::Controller();
        $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url', 'date'));
        $this->load->library(array('form_validation', 'encrypt'));
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        //Load the registration view
        $this->load->view('TXTU/regView', $birthdayData);
    }

    
    function reg_Result()
    {
        //set rules for my form validation
        $this->set_regform_rules();
        
        if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
        {                        
            $this->load->view('TXTU/regView', $birthdayData);
        }
        else
        {
            $this->save_reg_data();
            $this->load->view('TXTU/regSuccess');
        }
    }
?>
